Curtis Jerrells (Baylor): PG, 6'1", 200 lbs.
Comparison: Derek Fisher
Jerrells has one thing that many point guards in the NBA lack—strength. Often the number-one option on his team, the southpaw can get his own shot whenever he wants.
Most importantly, after four years in college he's NBA-ready.
A majority of the point-men to come out of college early aren't ready to step in and play immediately, but Jerrells is. He's strong, makes good decisions, and is consistent—the definition of an NBA point guard.
Jerrells would be a steal in the late first-round and fit almost anywhere. But two teams could use his services: the Spurs and the Lakers.
San Antonio's back-up point guard problems hard not to notice, George his has the skill, but seems to serves San Antonio better on the wing.
Los Angeles seems to be struggling through the playoffs with no true point except Derek Fisher—and Fish's prime has passed.
After getting a few seasons under his belt, Jerrells could blossom into a solid starting point guard, and could become the heir to a few starting spots to open up within the next few seasons.
Other Fits: Atlanta, Dallas, Portland.
