Yeah it's weird. From the games I have watched his role is facilitator for Whitehead, Mitchell, and Reneau. He gets the ball exactly where it needs to go and is a great passer. Pretty impressive in transition too.

But I def would like to seem him be more assertive and score more. 

Was one of the leading scorers in the EYBL last year before losing his last event due to Covid. As you’d expect, most of his points came in the midrange and getting to the rim. They ran a lot of DHO’s with him and he also seems to have a fondness for facing up at the elbows and working to the baseline. I did find one game where he made 4 3’s, but that was really the exception.

Super pumped for this kid. Love the way he pushes the ball up and down the court. I don't think he has the best freshman season ever but I can see him getting 8-10 PPG and 3 ast. I love how he was the leader on this team. That was a pretty stacked team. Yet he was the glue guy. I hope he can be that for IU. Also hope IU can get his buddy Malik. They had great chemistry together. I  think Malik is a day 1 starter at the Power 5 level.

If you’re wondering why he wasn’t much of a scoring factor in the final, check his fingers in the last pic of this slideshow

He's bigger than any guard we have right now. Looks like a football player.

Watched the whole game.

His court vision is next level and he gets that jumper off extremely fast.

Big and strong.

 Can't wait to have this kid in the backcourt.
