Yeah but can he shoot and defend? I'm hearing that he "kinda sorta" cant. If true Is his razzzle dazzzle playmaking enough to make up for that?
Its more than just razzle dazzle though. He's a very effective passer. He'd walk in and instantly be our best passer (not saying much but still).
He's a risky pick because again as ive mentioned earlier in this thread there's a chance the shot and the strength just never get there and he's nothing more than a hyped up back up point guard who can't defend but i do think he's in the running for highest ceiling in the draft. You don't just find 6'7" dudes with legit point guard skills and vision.
The floor is like a bad Evan Turner but the ceiling is really uncomparable to anyone in the league. He's got such a unique skill set for his body type.
