Dont think we need to waste another top 10 pick on a combo guard.

This dude will be a legit NBA PG, and a great fit for the Pels. I'm tempted to like him more than Burke just b/c of the size.

Some excerpts from his strengths section:

quote:

---

His off the dribble variety is elite—hesitation, rocker and crossover—excellent shiftiness and ability to burst through an open seam

---

quote:

---

Highly efficient in both isolation offense and the pick & roll, resulting in a score % of 49.2% and 45.7%

---

quote:

---

Renowned for his comfort level dribbling into a jumper from mid-range or distance

---

quote:

---

Hunts cheap points at the free throw line (6.7 attempts for his career, 82% accuracy) – has added 35-40 pounds since first arriving on campus

---

quote:

---

Plays with a palpable air of confidence; for every defensive design, he has the ability to counter

---

quote:

---

Plays well within the team concept, yet still possesses the one on one package to break away from it when necessary. 6’6 wingspan-- major factor on both backboards (6.3 career, 7.8 sophomore) and creates absolute havoc in passing lanes (2.1 steals) ... From a mental acuity and physical maturity standpoint, he’s ready.

---

All of his strengths translate very well to the NBA game.
