Scouting Report
Owns an outstanding combination of athleticism and basketball savvy. A true quarterback on the floor, he passes with aplomb and can shoot the three-ball, too. Is also able to dunk the ball at only 6'3". Is the first player in NCAA history to average 20 points and 10 assists per game in a single season! There are questions about his ability to defend at the NBA level, due to his lack of height and optimal fundamentals when he does not have the ball in his hands, though his offense makes up for his weaknesses at the other end of the floor.
Long Range Potential: Talented, athletic and all-around point guard with great upside.
