CHU Draft Analysis: Unlike most big point guards, is a legit playmaker with true floor general skills. Negatives are average - at best - quickness.
Has superior height and polished ballhandling skills and sees the entire floor. Exceptional anticipation of teammates and delivers crisp passes. Smaller guards are generally unable to impede his progress or pressure. Generally looks to create first, but will look for shot when team needs a bucket and kills opponents spotting up from the perimeter. More than capable penetrator, but struggles to finish in traffic. The rare player who really can play both guard spots without much declination at either.
Through hard work and smarts, is a solid team defender, but can be exposed by quicker, athletic players. Surprisingly, not as good a rebounder as might be expected, but is a triple-double threat on any given night.
Versatile, selfless player who coaches and teammates love. Could move up draft boards quickly after individual workouts. (Updated: 3/1/09)
