Kyle Guy
- Thread starter King Baller
- Start date
Hardcore UVa fan here. You will absolutely love this kid. If he were 6’5 he would have been a 1st round pick last year.
He’s clutch, will work his tail off, and will be one of the best locker room influences you could ask for. He plays with a chip but has found a way to turn that into a positive thing.

For Kyle Guy to make it in the NBA, it really hinges on him developing his point guard skills.
He was used mainly as a shooting guard in college, but he showed a lot of grit in his game. He was pretty savvy player in the tournament. He looks like he has the ability to run the point, but he really needs to hone those skills if he wants to make it in the NBA.

Guy was one of the players on my wanted list. He's an out of his mind shooter. He made more contested three's last year than any other player I watched. He just an unconscious shooter. As I stated above, he reminds me a lot of Lou Williams. Leave him open at your peril. However, he isn't a true PG as far as creativity goes, but if on the floor with a player like Ty Jerome, (his teammate) 6'6" who can handle and create, it works! Let me see, do the Kings have anyone that comes off the bench who fits that scenario? Oh yeah, Bogdanovic....
Guy plays off the ball extremely well, and don't be fooled by his size. He's a tough kid whose not afraid to go up against the big boys. Defensively, if asked to guard PG's, I think he's fine. He's not Patrick Beverly, but he'll certainly give you maximum effort defensively. For the 55th pick, the Kings may have gotten themselves a steal.

Well, if Guy ends up being as good as Kerr, then I'm happy. Kerr holds the record for career 3pt shooting percentage at 45.4%. That would work for me. However, Kerr did have some PG skills even though he played off the ball a lot. If you watched Guy play at Virginia, and watched Williams play, there's a lot of similarity to their games.
I'm actually somewhat excited about the Guy pick. The Guy can flat out shoot and he's not afraid to take/make big shots.
Sure just about every other aspect of his game/body/athleticism is sub-par at the NBA level........however never has 3-point shooting been more important in the NBA. If he can hit a high percentage of his shots while not being an embarrassment on defense....he will easily find a niche in the league.

True but Bibby was just flat out bigger and more athletic than Guy is now. Bibby had better handles and was thought of as a true PG coming out of Arizona. Granted as we know now, Bibby was a much better shot maker than shot creator. It would be a miracle if Guy ever became a starting Calibur player in the NBA.
No arguments there. Interestingly enough, Guy is listed as being taller and heavier than Bibby was coming into the league. But Bibby was a borderline all-star type and I don't anticipate Guy getting there. I do think there is definitely a role that he could thrive in here, though, especially with Bogi and Giles as shot creators next to him.
