21. JAHMI’US RAMSEY, Texas Tech
Details: 18 years old, 6-foot-4, 195 lbs
Key Stats: 15.0 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 43% 3PT
I’ve gone through stages with Ramsey. I loved him in high school. I was frustrated by him early on in his college career, as Texas Tech worked through figuring out what the best way to use him is. What they’ve settled on is as a scorer and an elite shot-maker. The big red flag for me is that I expected Ramsey to play the Jarrett Culver-Keenan Evans role for Texas Tech, but he’s not that guy because he is not on their level at creating out of ball-screens or as a passer. Since he is only 6-foot-4, that’s something to monitor in the longterm.
But he’s a bouncy athlete that can play in transition, shoots the cover off of the ball and should be able to attack closeouts. The two major question marks are on the defensive end of the floor and shooting off of the dribble, but those are things that can be improved with time. He’s not the player that I thought he would be, but he’s still good enough that using a top 25 pick on him makes sense.

Ramsey was a borderline top-35 prospect coming out of high school who, just like Zhaire Smith and Jarrett Culver before him, developed into a projected first-round pick after working with Chris Beard at Texas Tech. The 6-4 guard averaged 15.0 points and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 42.6% from 3-point range. There are concerns about what else he does really well besides make shots. But shot-making is super-important in today's NBA. So Ramsey should be selected in the first round -- perhaps in the teens but definitely in the 20s.

27. Knicks (via Clippers) — Jahmi'us Ramsey, Point, Texas Tech
H: 6-3 | W: 190 | Age: 18.8
Ramsey's NBA value is going to hinge on the viability of his jump shot because he's largely a shot creator who doesn't add a lot of additional value in the box score. He shot 42.6 percent on 141 3-point attempts this season, but a poor 64.1 percent from the foul line leaves questions.
If the jumper falls, Ramsey probably looks like good value for the Knicks at this spot in the draft. If it doesn't, he probably won't be on the roster long.
