NBA Draft: Who is Tyler Harvey?
Draft Sites Say
"Led the NCAA in scoring as a sophomore, was a prolific shooter both off the dribble and in spot-up situations … Also led the nation in made three point shots, with 4 made three pointers per game, was 128-297 (43.1%) 3PT in 2015 … Improved his two-point percentage greatly his junior year as well, while also being an 84.7% FT shooter on a nice volume. Moves very well when playing off the ball, with a very quick lefty release. Harvey lacks the typical level of athleticism one expects in a high level NBA guard … Should hope to add strength to fight through screens, really lacks ideal size at this point in time to gain many minutes … Does not have the size to regularly play shooting guard and does not have the athleticism and point guard skills to play that position."
"The nation’s leading scorer at 22.9 points per game last season,Tyler Harvey led the Eastern Washington Eagles to their second ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Barely recruited out of high school, Harvey redshirted his freshman year before turning into one of the country’s most prolific offensive players. Harvey now needs to prove he can continue his scoring success against NBA players, with the hopes of hearing his name in the NBA Draft. An extremely efficient scorer, Harvey joins just six other players to post multiple collegiate seasons of at least 20 points per game on a 60% true shooting percentage (Stephen Curry, Ryan Toolson, Ricky Minard, Kevin Martin, Ike Diogu and Doug McDermott 3x) in our database since 2000. Although he was somewhat tucked away in obscurity playing in the Big Sky Conference, Harvey proved he could score against high-major teams by averaging 26.3 points per 40 minutes on a 61% true shooting percentage against teams from BCS conferences, according to our database."
