And it's really tough to blame the guy when he is looking at a top 3 pick in the NBA draft.

Maybe things have changed, but I just don't see this.

While he does have outstanding passing capabilities, he isn't very good from the free throw line and apparently can't hit jump shots to a point where opposing coaches have already figured out how to defend against him.

Help me understand how he's projected to go so high? Is it just his potential?
