Quotes:

Jackson Hoy of The Stepien is bullish on Huerter’s chances to have a diverse role in an offense:

"“Huerter was the big riser in The Stepien’s updated rankings. His dynamic shooting ability at 6-foot-7.25 is the starting point for his attractiveness as a prospect. However, he’s more than a shooter, as he has shown surprising handling ability for a player of his size and shooting reputation.”"

Jeremy Woo of Sports Illustrated has the Spurs snatching Huerter with the 18th pick:

"“His size, shooting stroke and ability to make difficult shots off the catch and dribble are all high-level traits for a two-guard, and he tested well athletically, which didn’t hurt. His ability to make quick decisions and space the floor would fit nicely in San Antonio.”"
