2018 NBA Draft big board: End of January
By Max Holm
24. Shake Milton – SMU
Shake Milton is a towering 6’6″ combo guard with a plus wingspan and a great jumper. The junior is putting up career highs in points with 18.3 per game and 3-point shooting at 43.3 percent. He’s a catch-and-shoot nightmare and due to his wingspan can shoot over any defender. Milton also possess great vision, assisting on nearly one-fourth of SMU’s buckets.
The main question surrounding him is what kind of defender he can become. SMU plays a decent amount of zone, so it’s hard to get a great read on him. He moves well for such a lanky guard and that length allows him to generate steals and blocks. Still, he’s not the quickest and struggles on the other end at creating off the dribble. Those are holding him back from going closer to the lottery.
