Right now Shabazz seems Quentin Richardson with better wingspan. That's not a bad thing but hardly worth a top pick or even top3.
McLemore has a textbook jumper and can drive straight to the bucket due his athleticism but has no between game. He seems to be the 2nd coming of JR Smith (early years minus the headcase). His worst case scenario is Michael Pietrus.
If I have to pick right now between these 3, I take Archie Goodwin.
Sometimes uncontrolled but he has a nice crossover and 1st step with excellent slashing and finishing abilities. Has a good jumpshot too. His offense reminds me of Dwyane Wade at Marquette. Can pass the ball, has the will and skills to be a lockdown-defender. Just exactly what the the doctor has ordered for the Suns.
I feel like Shabazz is a better scorer than Q and probably has a better jump shot. McLemore does almost seem a little like a young J.R Smith to me and I don't like his lack of ability to create his own shot. Goodwin does remind me of a young Dwayne Wade for the reasons you listed as well as his ability to draw contact and get to the free throw line which is very important if you want to be a consistent scorer at the next level.
