------------------------------------------------------------------------------Outlook:
Not exactly a PG, better a combo guard, who is a little smaller than listed, but athletic with long arms. He can be a great on the ball
defender if he wants to be. What he does best is score and he will be able to get to the free throw line. He seems to want to play off the
ball, but he's too small to be effective at the SG, and outside shot is a question mark. He should improve his court vision and passing
mentality and, of course, outside shooting.
