NBA Comparison: Tyronn Lue
Strengths: Point guard who has shown the ability to raise his level of play in big games having quarterbacked the Gators to back to back titles … Shows solid composure, which having a basketball background surely helps … Has developed a deadly outside shooting stroke and doesn’t get fazed by big game situations, in fact he seems to thrive in them … Raised his 3 point shooting to over 40% in his junior season and shoots a high volume … Very quick guard with the ability to get by opponents off the dribble … Shows a high level of toughness … Constantly looks to penetrate and take the ball to the basket or drive and kick … Very aggressive guard who gets to the line a lot and converts at a high rate: 85% ... Pushes the ball quickly up the court … Has solid vision and passing ability …

Weaknesses: Undersized at around 6 feet, and doesn’t have the athleticism or length to play bigger … His lack of size could create a problem especially on the defensive end of the floor where bigger guards will be able to exploit him … Not a tremendous floor general, doesn’t always make the right pass … A good but not great passer … Lacks the innate feel for running a team … Can get sloppy with the ball, making careless turnovers or poor decisions passing the ball … His ball handling ability is decent but not great for a point guard … His assist/turnover ratio has not shown much improvement and should be much higher considering the level of his teammates … Can be streaky shooting the ball, and when his shot is off it can affect the rest of his game … Not a great defender, doesn't anticipate the passing lanes well, and doesn't show the same level of interest as on the offensive end of the floor ...
