Summary:
Kevin Hervey is a tough, physical, high-motor combo forward that has been very productive for Texas-Arlington in his past two seasons. He has been instrumental in his team’s success, as he has provided them with much needed consistency as a scorer and rebounder when he is on the floor.
There may be concerns about how well his knee may hold up moving forward, as he had to deal with injuries over the years. Regardless, Hervey had a solid senior season this year, and he is an athletic, skilled combo forward that could end up being a second round pick in 2018.
