ESPN: NBA draft rankings: Top 10 NCAA junior prospects

3. Shake Milton
SMU
Age: 21.0
PG

Height: 6-foot-6 | Wingspan: 7-0

Milton has prototypical tools for an NBA guard, standing 6-foot-6 with a chiseled frame and an exceptional 7-foot wingspan. He has converted 42 percent of his 3-point attempts at the college level. He legitimately plays point guard for SMU, despite having the measurements of a small forward. With SMU's three other double-digit scorers last season off to the pro ranks, scouts will want to see how Milton handles himself in what will undoubtedly be a far more prominent role.

Milton often has looked all too content blending into the background and being more of a spot-up shooter and an average distributor, struggling to create his own offense in the half-court (49 percent from 2) and rarely getting to the free throw line. Can he become more of a leader as an upperclassman?

I hope Shake has a killer year and can play less true PG and more shooting/SF.

This writer has Shake as the 46th best player in the country. He has been waiting for a breakout year from Shake for YEARS? lol even though Shake’s only played two years and had a really good fresh year on a loaded team.

That ranking was a bit silly all around. Having 3 Cincy players and no Jarrey was a bit ridiculous to me. I'm fine with Shake as our only ranked player but let's not stuff the ballot box for Cincy, rankings guy. Cincy is this good because they are deep not because they have a couple transcendent players.
