Don’t we already have a few guards on the roster that can’t play defense?
Tyler Herro
School: Kentucky
Position: SG
Age: 19
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 195
Wingspan: 6-foot-5
Draft Range: 15 to 30
Why: Picture-perfect form on his jumper -- both when spotting up and on the move. Has an NBA-ready floater and is comfortable shooting off the dribble. Shot 87-for-93 (93.5%) at the line in his one season at Kentucky. Respectable athlete: can make quick moves with the ball, runs well, fast reaction speed, reasonably shifty. Willing and able to make smart passes. Makes a concerted effort to help out on the defensive boards.
Why Not: Only shot 35.5% on three-pointers, so his marksmanship is more theoretical than proven at this point. While he's a respectable athlete, he has two flaws: poor lateral quickness and poor leaping ability. The former really hurts him on the defensive end; it's going to be difficult for him to stay in front of NBA players and he doesn't have the length to compensate. The latter will make it difficult for him to finish at the rim -- he'll have to always rely on floaters and leaners in the paint.
Spurs Fit: He's only 19 so a year in Austin would be likely. However, if shooting is needed, he should be able to supply that early in his career.

More like Tyler Enrique... ehhhh
pass
Where's he projected to go? Might be something to add to future posts....
Thanks for doing this btw. No whities though IMO.
late first/ or 2nd rounder seems ok for him. Good size, young and raw. Not ready for NBA ball yet
Draft Range, tbh.
Most mocks have him going 17 to 27
Oh Herro American Joe
Other than a couple of inches of height, there's not much reason for him with Forbes on the roster. I think Bryn shot 39% as a freshman, and a LOT better than that the next years, so he doesn't even compare favorably with Forbes in that department.
But one of the big reasons why Forbes has a fatal flaw is his stature and lack of length. He has the will to develop but you can't teach height or length. If Forbes was 6'5"+ and longer/quicker (apparently as this guy is by his profile), he has a higher ceiling, definitely in defensive schemes. He wouldn't be a huge liability on that end.
no guards. SFs and PFs. Maybe a C with the 29th pick
under 6'6'' guard who can not play defense? well, It seems we found our guy.
Perfect spur tbhwe need a hero!
Hopefully he likes coffee and fat chicks tbh.
I'm no expert on Tyler Herro, but from the little I watched him, I don't think he'll be any better on defense than Bryn. I think Bryn is quicker, and he put on a good bit of muscle since last year. By the end of the season, he was better defensively than he had been. And Bryn really is a knock-down 3P shooter - against NBA defenses, not just in theory. He shot .426 on 5 attempts per game this season. The chances of Herro being that good are pretty slim.
Was Andrew Glaze that Spur from the Land Down Under?
Between him and that other white guard who can't play D pop ain't gonna know who to pick.
Herro was the best defender on Kentucky’s roster tbh...would be a great pick, though maybe not our best position of need fwiw....
He's basically Luke Kennard
Having a hard time seeing what we're supposed to like about this guy. Another 6-5 guy, but this time without the athleticism? Would need to see multiple guards traded for me to be on board with this, even at 29.
hes a sharpshooter but he cant shoot he struggled with college range 3
