Skylar Mays, Guard, LSU
Stats: 16.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.8 steals, 2.3 turnovers
Splits: 49.1/39.4/85.4
Skylar Mays is an athletic combo-guard that has the ability to be a rotational guard at the NBA level. Mays is a highly-skilled player. He can score in a multitude of ways and may be able to become a microwave scorer at the next level (think 6th man).
There is some limited concern about Mays’ size. He does not have the playmaking you would like to see from a true one but also is not big enough to guard most NBA shooting guards. He can also become a black hole on offense, swallowing possessions and getting tunnel vision towards the basket.
As highlighted, you need to find players that can contribute in the second round. Physically raw players drafted in the second round almost never pan out. Mays has a developed frame with a floor high enough to where he should be able to contribute for an NBA team.
Mays could be an eventual sixth man for the Timberwolves. His fit is not the best next to either Beasley or Russell, but it could be enough to work. Mays improved his efficiency every year that he was at LSU, and will look to continue to do so at the NBA level.
