NBA Comparison: Cuttino Mobley
Strengths: A scoring machine. Pure shooter with an advanced offensive package … Tremendous three point shooter who can spot up or pull up off the dribble equally effective … Has a picture perfect release and excellent range on his shot … Extremely quick and fluid, his ball handling ability is smooth as he spent time in high school playing both guard positions … Has a tremendous first step but should look to get to the rim more often … Benefits playing at UNC where his skills are showcased as well as anywhere … A decent passer, but tends to look to create offense for himself first and foremost …

Weaknesses: Undersized at the 2-guard position … Has solid length and athleticism but nothing extraordinary making his lack of height a true liability … Tends to focus more on the offensive end of the floor … Lacks great defensive skills. Must develop a greater desire and focus on the defensive end of the floor … His lateral foot speed and quickness are solid enough where he could develop into a quality on-ball defender … Lack of body strength is also a point of focus … Lack of explosiveness limits his finishing ability at the rim … Needs to develop more of a killer instinct, his intensity appears to drift at times …

Notes: Came into North Carolina as a consensus top 10 recruit nationally … High school teammate and friend of Duke’s Gerald Henderson …
