Keep in mind: FVV played 4 years of college and went undrafted. It's difficult to use a top-10 pick on an undersized guard.
For this week's mock, Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report) has the Rockets picking #4 and selecting Reed Sheppard. Seems pretty high.
Not if the pic is not only good at defense, but is the only first-round pick from college that has has shot over 50% from the 3 in over 35 years. That's too good to pass up to me, especially when we desperately need great 3 PT shooters. We already know Amen and Sengun aren't those guys, and Jalen is a big up and down shooter. Besides, he's 3 inches taller than Chris Paul, and an inch taller than Steph Curry. Some guys actually get taller after high school too. My brother grew 6 inches after HS.
I don't think it's crazy, but what do I know? I don't know how you can discount the best 3 PT shooter that's come along in years. Maybe if he was terrible at creating his own shots or playing great defense, but from everything I've read about him that's not an issue.
Really hard to tell how well he will transition to the NBA, and I have my doubts, but damn those shooting percentages are seductive!
