The Skinny:
This thin floor leader really knows how to control the game from the point and has excellent vision, which one would expect with his size at that position. He can score on drives and has shot the ball well when he has looked to shoot, but makes his mark with his passes, especially on the move, and getting his points in the flow of the offense. He has a ways to mature physically, but his basketball acumen is hard to match, and he’s more of a smooth player than one who’s known for rugged play.
