An NBA scout on Jeremiah Fears: “He’s an fascinating participant on this 12 months’s class. Not a three-point shooter in any respect, however he’s virtually 50 % on the rim, which is insane for a guard. I’ve heard Monte Ellis comps – tall scoring guard vibes who doesn’t shoot a lot from deep. He’s actually good, although. An excellent facilitator, wonderful at attending to the rim, and he’s efficient at drawing fouls and changing free throws. The massive concern is he simply can’t shoot—he did drop 30 towards Michigan and he completely cooked Louisville, so perhaps it’s not at all times the case however he struggled towards Oregon and didn’t present up towards another massive groups.”
