NBA Mock Draft Pick #29 -- Tony Snell, Guard, New Mexico
SB Nation's Thunder blog Welcome to Loud City explains the pick:
We're going to take Tony Snell from New Mexico. The Thunder's offense totally revolves around mid-range jumpers, and it was apparent from this year's playoffs that they need some three point shooting help. Derek Fisher was there to provide that help, but he won't be able to play forever (hopefully). Thus, we look to the draft for a solution, and Tony Snell fits the bill. He's got a really high percentage from three in college, and can definitely shoot from an NBA range. He's not a guy who would to be able to create his own shot, but it would be pretty darn hard to find that at the end of the first round. He's also apparently an excellent isolation defender and has a lot of length, two things which will help him slot into the Thunder perfectly. If he can play defense on a decent level and knock down a few threes, kinda like a Danny Green, he's good as gold in my book. Even if he can't shoot from the right side.
Also, I wonder which team has the most length in the NBA? I'd be willing to bet the Thunder do.
