Chad Ford of ESPN.com thinks Kentucky freshman point guard Tyler Ulis really helped himself at the NBA Combine.
Here is what he had to say:
And perhaps the biggest winner of the weekend was freshman Tyler Ulis. A number of scouts who felt Ulis wasn’t tall enough — he measured 5-foot-9 in shoes with a 6-foot-1 wingspan — to be a first-round prospect changed their mind.
“I had sort of written him off because he’s so small,” one scout said. “But when you watch him in the context of all that talent on the floor, he really stands out. From a pure basketball standpoint, he’s the best basketball player on the team. The size concerns us. But he’s got amazing speed, plays so hard, and can do everything. He has a chance to be the best point guard in the country this year, and I think he’ll find a place in the NBA.”
Big compliments for the little guy.
Can’t wait to see how the rotation works out.
