Summary:
As he is a son of a former NBA head coach, Tamir Blatt is a smart, skilled point guard that can effectively run a team, as he can shoot and pass the basketball.
His lack of elite physical tools may suggest he may have a limited upside as a prospect for the NBA, but his basketball IQ and skills on offense could make him a potential second round pick in 2019.
