    He’s going to be a real good player. Lacks the elite athleticism and foot speed of most superstar athletes, but his overall game is very very fine-tuned. Excited to see him in college.

      Everyone’s been comparing him to Melo for as long as I can remember…It’s pretty clear their playing styles are very similar. They both have smooth, refined and all-around skills. (I’m not saying they’ll have similar careers though. Whether you think that’s a good or bad thing is up to you)

    Great young man and player who will be a model citizen as well.  Reminds me of a cross between Harrison Barnes and Carmelo Anthony.  I still think though going forward Julius Randle is the better player due to his strength , being a bit more explosive , and having that edge you like to see.

    His lack of elite athleticism is probably going to be one of his better assets when it comes to career longevity. Players like Paul Pierce, Andre Miller, and Steve Nash make a living pacing themselves and holding high skill levels and intangibles which have kept them in the league for a while. They are patient players who can be effective against the best freaks of nature with hesitations, small bursts of some speed and knowing where they want to score and pass on the floor. He does have some of that Melo to his game with a knack for getting others involved around him. This kid has a very bright future!
