Scouting Report
- Might be the best one-on-one scorer in the nation
-
Outstanding natural ability and a remarkable athlete
-
Excellent size allows him to finish in traffic as well as shoot over the top of his man for jumpers
-
Uses extraordinary ballhandling skills combined with great quickness to consistently break down defenders
-
Manufactures points anyway imaginable with his tremendous creativity
-
Great offensive instincts, he makes acute reads and recognitions
-
Uses his handle and headfakes well to setup his shot or work his way into the lane
-
Sweet spin dribble into a jumper and a killer crossover to create spacing
-
Prefers the mid-range game to the perimeter game
-
Not much arc on shot, though he gets great rotation on the ball
-
Average long-range shooter, great shooter off the dribble in his intermediate game
-
Quick release
-
Moves extremely well without the ball
-
Awesome hangtime allows him to convert on dipsy-do finishes
-
Kisses reverse layups off the glass at difficult angles
-
Draws fouls as well as any other player in college basketball
-
Rarely turns the ball over considering how much he uses his dribble
-
Excellent passing skills, especially out of his shot
-
Very good rebounder
-
Plays the passing lanes
-
Despite obvious talent he does get caught up in the one-on- one game and isn't always on the same page as his teammates
-
An all-American when he can put his whole game together
-
Scores much better against man-to-man defenses than zone defenses, so he should flourish at the NBA level
-
Has been slightly disappointing this season, but look for him to bounce back if he returns next year
-
A bit of a surprise as a freshman, had an impact that know one seemed to expect.
