I'm probably wrong, but can you tell me what I'm missing? (I've only watched a few videos and it seems like he'll have a long NBA career, but I'm getting D. Russell vibes)
That may be too rough on him; let's say Scoot Henderson vibes.
More that they are both decently sized PG candidates that went/will go #2 in the draft with questions about their 3 point range but that started as one of a bunch and quickly became a consensus pick than that they are similar stylistically.
