What I loved about him is he could get into the paint with ease. Next year he'll be able to do that and open up outside looks for Nic and Frasier as well as get the ball to our bigs if the person they are guarding has to switch off and help on EM.
He's going to have a Derrick Rose at Memphis type impact on our team next year.

No one plays defense in the game yesterday, but the supposed word out of the practices was he was getting after people and guarding them. He's going to bother a lot of opposing PG's with his length and quickness next year.

Kind of a lazy defender the two times I've seen him live, but that's mainly cause he gets away with it at such ease. He doesn't really have to try to shut an opposing HS PG down if that makes sense? He will gamble and stuff, I expect that will change quickly. If you're asking if he's capable of defending at a high level....there's no doubt he can. He's quick as [deleted] and moves well. He's big so he's tough to throw over and around in comparison to other PGs even at the collegiate and pro levels.

I was livid. Last night, my wife and I were at a restaurant eating sushi at the bar. She got embarrassed about how loud I got when he was fouled that hard. Course, she gets embarrassed a lot when I get into a game
