Cleveland Cavaliers: 5 early prospects in 2019 NBA Draft
By Tony Pesta
5. Romeo Langford, SG — Indiana
The first prospect on the list is Indiana shooting guard, Romeo Langford. He is a wing player that can score in a number of different ways. His impressive play in high school made him a five-star recruit and he is expected to make waves at the collegiate level.
Langford was a monster on the offensive end in high school. As a senior, he averaged 35.5 points per game on 56 percent shooting from the field. His ability to shoot from deep and put the ball on the floor made him a versatile threat.
While he lacks the foot speed of many other top recruits, Langford makes up for this with crafty moves. He is exceptional at picking his spots on the floor and knocking down shots, even with a defender in his way.
Langford stands at 6’6″ and has a 6’10” wingspan. His length gives him the ability to be a good rebounder at his position and all of the tools necessary to become a good defender. He could potentially develop into a great guard to match with the Collin Sexton.
