Precocious combo guard with tremendous ball skills ... Intriguing long term prospect considering his package of attributes ... Smart, and smooth guard who never seems to get rattled or rushed into making mistakes ... Shows great poise and maturity for a freshman. Makes everything look easy ... Great imagination and creativity. His vision and passing ability is very intriguing ... Excellent decision maker and appears to have the ability to develop into a point guard for the next level ... His drive and dish already is an effective element to his game ... 6-foot-9 wingspan gives him the ability to disrupt passing lanes and shots, as well as giving him extra length to get to loose balls and get shots off ... Shows good form on his shot and a quick release. Connecting at a good rate on shots at all 3 levels through the early part of the season ... Very good at running the pick-and-roll, well ahead of most guards at the same stage in that element ... Very good at creating shots in the midrange with a nasty handle, using crossovers and fakes to rock defenders off balance ... Conditioning and confidence in his first year have both been impressive ... Has worked on his body and is showing better upper body strength ...
