I know he probably won't declare until next year (maybe the year after), but what are your thoughts on him? NBA comparisons? How well will his game transition to the next level?

Smooth shooter, probably needs to work on his ball handling. Is a little undersized (He's 6'3 6'4 ish right?). He will probably land somewhere between the 17-18 range to about the 24-25 range IMO.

Comparisons.. hmm.. Can't think of any right now.

I have him pegged there as well. IMO he's a marginal defender at best, and I think that (along with ball handling) are his major weaknesses. I'll be interested to see where he lands (some have him as a lottery pick...which is a bit of a stretch, IMO).

he is absolutely average or below average at everything except shooting, and he will be neutralized @ the next level.. he will be 1st rd b/c of his unc stature, but will flameout imo..NOT an nba player longterm

Wayne Ellington is a poor mans Rashad McCants in college. He might be a little taller but he's not as athletic or the shooter that Rashad ever was.

Roger Mason from the Wizards. He's destined to be a bench player who'll shoot 3's ala Mason.
