Non-Shooter

Very good defender

Excellent Passer

Spotty decision maker

Very good rebounder when engaged

slight pre-madonna

Probably the Tar Heel that drove me the most insane during his time there.

Oh yeah...got bounce out the freaking gym

He was the most athletic player in last year's draft but he needs to work on his game. We'll see where he is but this is a nice pick up.

I wanted us to find a way to take a chance on him last year. BIG fan of his defense and passing.

Remember him falling in last years draft and philly took him. Questions were his attitude and his jumper. Nice SL addition, has nba tools for sure. Super athletic.

Judging by all of the earlier comments, it's reasonable to have thought he was Japanese :D

Can't sign this guy and Lin. He'll always be trying to invade Lin's locker.
