He's very weak defensively. He often looks a little lost out there. For long stretches he kind of disappears which is bad for a guard and even more so for a lead guard. He still looks like he's thinking too much (that, however, can be remedied). His shot selection can be dicey. And he's too much of a "stand straight up" kind of player for my taste which may be a personal thing. But I always thought that players who stood too straight up lack lateral mobility and explosiveness.
I could be way off base here, but I can't see him as anything beyond a serviceable or maybe a little better than that kind of player. I like the kid, he seems to have a good attitude, and I do believe he will get better. At this point I just don't see his ceiling being very high. Cronin seems to like him a lot and he sees him every day. So at this point I will just trust Cronin on this and see what happens. I hope I'm wrong and Cronin is right.
