Johnny Hemsley

Allsport
Position: Shooting Guard
College: Miami (FL)
Conference: Big East
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 195
Age: 22
Birthdate: 08/25/77
High School: Southern, Baltimore, Md.

Hemsley brings good size to the shooting-guard position, but he didn't shoot particularly well in his senior season (.398 from the field, .320 from 3-point range). He did manage to average 18.1 points and nearly four rebounds per game as well as make second-team All-Big East. He played in the Desert Classic in Phoenix, the NBA's second major pre-draft camp. He's a likely second-round pick.
