He plays a tiny bit like Rondo.

Kid is solid, but is definately on the overrated side IMO. Not to say he isn’t good, but he is about 6 foot, not an elite athlete. He has a good handle, and is a good penetrator and kickout kind of guy.

I compare him to Jason Williams. Good faciliator, solid shooter, not a huge threat to finish at the rim. And a little too flashy for his own good sometimes.

Myck is still in highschool and he is very confident of course hes gunna be flashy can you name an elite highschool point guard that isnt?? To answer the question myck strenghts are his ability to get to the rim, mid range jumpshot and his blazing speed his weeknesses are his 3pt shot and finishing ability that being said he is like a rondo/flynn type of player.

Kabongo was born to run a team. He has elite quickness, confidence, and leadership ability. He’s in that class of rare true point guards that scouts will keep their eyes on. I believe he is further along than Marquis Teague at this point, even though Teague’s physical ability has scouts ranking him a bit higher. He gets in the paint at will and shows great natural instincts to feed guys at the right time/place. I feel like his confidence is what really makes him special, almost on an arrogant level, but with the work ethic to back it up. I’ve never seen him get flustered by physical play even though he’s still on the small side.

That being said, he still needs to get stronger, because the physicality will only intensify in college. It’s tough to be both a short and skinny point guard and not be exposed on a regular basis at the highest level. He’s tough, and won’t back down, but right now he’ll get overpowered by guys. His shot isn’t bad and he get on a roll from the outside, but it’s still more of a set, slow release, not the type that you can expect to see him fire up any time. Needs time and rhythm to shoot at this point, even though his mechanics are good.

Bottom line, I think he could really be special if he doesn’t jump at the first chance at the NBA and gives himself the time to develop and learn to run a potentially contending team at Texas over the next few seasons.
