     so i recently found out he declared for the draft, yet he is not in the the site’s mock…

    he had some monster games against;

    texas; (vs kabongo/ j’covan): 37pts-3a-9r

    washington; (vs wroten/ ross): 18pts- 8a-10r…..and averaged 19pts-4a-7r in three games vs. washington

    it surprised me that this mock didn’t have him so i did a lil h.w…..from what i read, the dude is converting at a 66% clip on fastbreaks… known to be a good slasher; averaging 7.5 FTs a game but is also shooting 34% on 4 3pt att/

    on defense, he is getting 2.5 stls and 2.8 as a soph. his athleticism gives him potential as a defender, standing at 6’4 able to guard PGs.

    he is a combo-forward who played a lot of PG this year yet averaged a poor 2.8 assist, but a team that’s looking to pick up a PG to bring off the bench that can push the break he would be ideal. 

    i don’t see him going undrafted

    chad ford actually said if he had good workouts, he could sneak into the late first.  i think his stock will rise if you can show a consistent 3 point shot and if he measures out well.

    With all due respect, I don’t trust a word Chad Ford says

     I was at that game at the IZOD Center when he put up 37 against Texas. He got to the free throw line so much in that game and without looking it up I would say he took about 20 free throws. He didn’t show me anything spectacular in terms of his shooting or his dribbling skills, but everybody knows that this dude can fly.

    he was the best athlete in the entire pac 12 last year. His athelticicism is on par with anyone in this entire draft. But thats about the only thing that really stands out about him. Hes an undersized sg. He needs to show better shooting and needs to be a little more focused on man to man defense instead of trying to go for steals all the time. I would be shocked if he went undrafted though. Surely someone will use a second rounder on him.

    He needs alot of polish offensively and with his fundamentals, but he does look good athletically. He really isnt the best shooter and his mid-range game isn’t all that sharp either. He needs work man, Im surprised he declared.
