2019 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: The post Combine edition, OKC Thunder still focused on shooting

G. UNC. 13. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Nassir Little. player. 110
Some NBA team is going to draft the 19 year old purely based on Nassir Little‘s upside and age because it certainly is not due to his college production. While he is arguably an elite defender, Little stroked the trey ball at just a 26.9 percent clip.
Safe to say that was very disappointing for North Carolina and Roy Williams who expected to be getting a stellar three-and-D guard.
Little averaged almost ten points per game, four rebounds a game and less than one assist per game. He could not crack over half a steal and block per game in his college career.
Little could be a lockdown defender during his NBA career, and while his offensive game has not shown up, his defensive game leaves scout salivating.
Do the Miami Heat need a limited scorer who is stellar on the defensive end? Not really, but I do think they will select Little for his upside, and potential and in the hopes they can mold and shape his offensive game.
