Prospect Profile

An exciting guard who has spent time at TCU, Tulsa, and now Memphis, Haggerty has shown he has the talent to gain the attention of NBA scouts. He’s able to play either guard position and boasts great length and athleticism. 

The 3-point shot has really come around for Haggerty this season, though teams will want to see more volume and a higher sample size. He’s always been known as a player with a smooth jumper, but the results have been inconsistent at points. Even then, he’s overall a very efficient scorer who has produced better than 20 points per game in back-to-back seasons. Haggerty has emerged as a playmaker and offensive engine for his team. 

Haggerty’s role at the next level will be determined by his development as a passer. He’s already solid in that department and generates a solid number of assists, but he doesn’t project to be a lead guard at the NBA level yet. If he’s able to turn into that archetype, he’ll be even more valuable. 

But in the meantime, he appears to be a microwave scorer off the bench in the NBA at best. Haggerty’s ability to prove to teams he can do more than just score will be critical, as he hopes to show he can impact winning in other ways. He’s a good positional rebounder and engaged defender who generates a high number of steals, but still needs to showcase a more well-rounded game. 

A former three-star recruit, Haggerty could be a sleeper who works his way up though the G League. Whether he works his way into the second-round of an upcoming draft or goes undrafted, he has a path to earning NBA minutes at some point.
