SEC coach believes TyTy Washington is an NBA Draft steal

TyTy Washington was a projected lottery pick for most of last season but didn’t hear his name called until almost the very end of the first round on Thursday night. TyTy’s injuries during the season and reportedly underwhelming performance in workouts caused him to slide to No. 29 to the Houston Rockets. While late first round certainly isn’t the top ten dream TyTy and his family had for the draft, there’s growing consensus that he may end up being one of the biggest steals of the night.

ESPN’s Jeff Borzello asked coaches to share their thoughts on the draft anonymously.
