Hoopsworld: Maynor Just As Good

It's true this draft is point guard heavy though, and to that end we know all the names on the list: Spain's Ricky Rubio, Syracuse's Jonny Flynn, high schooler via Italy Brandon Jennings, Davidson's Stephen Curry, North Carolina's Ty Lawson, Virginia Commonwealth's Eric Maynor, UCLA's Jrue Holiday, St. Mary's Patrick Mills….wait a minute – Eric who?

Add him to the list of players you have to see – there are plenty of YouTube videos to get yourself up to speed. Maynor is projected by most mocks to go in the middle of the first round, but you can't help but wonder if he would be ranked higher if he had the same amount of exposure as Flynn or Lawson.

Last season he averaged 22.4 points, 6.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and shot 46.3% from the field (36.1% from three-point territory).

Imagine how high this ^^^ would be if not for that 4 or 5 game dry spell where he just couldn't get the trey to drop. It should have been somewhere around 41% had he been more consistent through the middle of the season and starting CAA play.

The other part of that article that was excellent was if he falls to the 20's he will be the steal of the draft.
