Potential lottery pick Romeo Langford has officially decided to stay in the draft, he posted on his Twitter page.
The 6’6” swingman from Indiana University is currently ranked No. 14 overall and the No. 3 small forward by ESPN’s Jonathan Givony.
“I believe now is the time for me to begin the next chapter of my life and keep my name in the 2019 NBA Draft,” he wrote in part.
Langford averaged 16.5 PPG, 5.4 RPG and 2.3 APG in his one-and-done season with the Hoosiers. According to Givony, Langford possesses he prototypical physical tools for an NBA wing with a strong frame and a 6’11” wingspan. He’s also a smooth and fluid athlete who is at his best with the ball in his hands.
He has to improve his perimeter shooting, as he made just 27.% of his long-range shots.
Langford dealt with some back issues but says he’s fully recovered. He met with 13 teams at the combine, including the Pacers, Celtics and Pistons.
Only watched this guy a couple times playing the Gophers , but I didn’t see anything about him that’s that amazing. I cant see anyone in top 15 drafting him. Way more hype and potential than there was results.
