NBA Comparison: Rajon Rondo/Monta Ellis
Strengths: Athletic and explosive combo guard with the length to make up for his lack of height
Attacks the basket with a lethal first step and crossover ability
Can handle the rock well and gets into the lane effortlessly
Finishes well at the rim and is unafraid to go up in traffic
Huge wingspan allows him to play much bigger than his 6-3 height
Gets good lift on his jumpshot and has a quick release
Solid passer with unselfishness, always looks for the open man
Has an excellent mid-range game
A gym rat, really works hard to improve
Has a great attitude, extremely coach-able
Has the potential to be a bigtime scorer when given the chance
Really excels defensively and has a chance to develop into a great defender
His anticipation for steals and his on ball defensive ability are special
Solid passer who shows the ability to play the point guard position ...
Weaknesses: Playing at UCLA he has had a hard time gaining steady playing time (9 mpg) Hell likely come off the bench as a sophomore, but should see increased action Showing the ability to run the point position as well as play the 2-guard will upgrade his draft potential Must become better at handling ball pressure at the point guard position Must continue to improve his body strength UCLA system will likely limit his ability to fully showcase himself Needs to improve upon his free throw shooting (55%)
Notes: High school teammate of current Miami Heat player Dorell Wright
