1st time I've seen him play. How does he project as an NBA player? Kid certainly has a step on all these Wofford guys, just wondering what his future holds as a professional.

He's good but he suffers from OC which will hurt him in the NBA much more thank in college.

He's good enough to play in the league for sure.

I'd draft him in the top 3. He's a Nash like player with a ton of skill. And yes I used Nash because they're both white.

I don't see the Nash comparison at all.

I don't see the Nash comparison at all. Totally different games IMO. He is such a liability on defense as well.

There's a place for him in the NBA. As for college, he just knows how to simplify the game and play a little old school. As in how he can get to the basket for layups. Reminds me of the Pistol Pete days, playing below the rim. Won't work in the NBA though.

He'll be shooting threes in the NBA not driving to the basket.

Nothing like nash.

Steph curry is a good comparison IMO with maybe not quite as much explosiveness off the dribble

Overrated. They really need to get off his dick. They're playing Wofford for Christ's sake.

Will be in the league a long time don't know about being a superstar. Reddick type player. Have no idea on his defense because he obviously doesn't play much now maybe to save him for offense

He's averaging 28.5 points per game and steps his game up when in the biggest games. He's the best player in college basketball. Not the best athlete, not the best upside with regards to NBA, but he dominates college basketball

Ok for starters, they're both white as I mentioned. Both are great shooters, both from 3 and FTs. They both do a lot of their damage on dribble penetration getting and either hitting shots or finding a teammate who's open. They both like to show of and make fanciful passes and are creative using both hands around the basket.

Nash's strength has never been his defense. How are they different?

You just described nearly every pg in NBA history.

Fredette is a scorer first. Nash is a facilitator

He is more like AI than Nash

He will win all of the awards, but based on the competition he has played he is not the best player.

I like the kid, but he would NOT averaged 28.5 in the Big East, 12, Big Ten, or even the PAC 10. Better athletes, better coaches, and more physical. Defensive liability as well.

He will be a solid pro.
