Tyler Harvey — G, 6-4, 180
Sophomore, 20 years old
Season (35.6 mpg): 20.2PPG, 4.1 RPG, 1.9 APG
Game: 19 points, 4 rebounds
Outlook: Harvey is a wiry thin scoring guard with terrific range on his jump shot. He’s one of the best scorers in the country regardless of conference, as he’s scored 30 at Weber State, 28 at Washington, 30 vs. Seattle, 20 at St. Mary’s and 19 at UConn. The numbers are a bit inflated, though, as Harvey attempts 20% of his team’s shots at 14 attempts per game.
Yes he can score, but he’s not an NBA player.
Firstly, he doesn’t appear to have NBA athleticism. Secondly, most of his shots were off-balance, imprudent attempts. He’s also overly reliant on his 3-point shot, and it’s tough to evaluate his driving ability when 75% of his shots are jumpers.
If he can continue to score the ball at a high level, and then pick up his assist numbers, maybe we’ll revisit down the line.

Shooting / Isolation
He’s not an NBA athlete, and doesn’t have great size, but Harvey is crafty with the ball and makes plays.
