Strengths: A player with great knowledge and understanding of the game ... Mr Intangibles, does all the little things to help his team win ... Out thinks opponents ... Extremely competitive, great will to win ... Hustles for every loose ball, his passion and energy are contagious ... Smart player, makes great decisions ... Extremely effective offfensive player ... Tremendous shooter, one of the top three point shooters in the country ... Has range and great form on his shot ... Quick release, which is important getting shots off against bigger and more athletic defenders ... Also has a clever mid range game ... Great attitude, works hard to improve ... Takes what the defense gives him. Doesn't over dribble, good ball handler ... Uses the dribble and ball fakes well to set up his jump shot ... Has good vision and passing ability ... Sound defender, plays smart defense, doesn't gamble ... Does a little of everything, grabs rebounds, steals ... Deceptive athleticism, he's clever at creating space for shots and getting open ... Great composure ...

Weaknesses: He'll turn 24 this year ... Doesn't look like an NBA player based on his body and athleticism ... Undersized, and not extremely fast ... What you see is what you get, his upside is somewhat limited by age and the fact that his game is as complete as it is ... Lacks a tremendous first step ... Not a big leaper or a specimen type of athlete ... Strictly a shooting guard, lacks the overall skills to play the PG position ... Free throw shooting fell off some as a Senior, but is solid ... Can be a streaky shooter, but finds ways to contribute when he's cold ...

Notes: Played his first 2 years at St. Bonaventure before transferring to West Virginia ... Helped lead West Virginia to the Elite Eight in his junior season.
