“Herb has a fantastic combination of size, skill, production, and potential that makes him an intriguing prospect,” Garrett Tucker, a talent evaluator and writer for HoopSeen, told AL.com. “His versatility allows him to play multiple positions, too. The way the NBA is evolving to a 3-and-D type of game, he’s perfect for that. He can score from all 3 levels and he can guard anywhere on the perimeter.
