Don't know much about him so maybe ppl who really follow college ball can give me more of a break down. But looking at his stats, he averaged 7.8 rebs, 5ast, 2.5stls, 16pts.

7.8 rebs per game is outstanding for a guard, his defense is said to be on point. He comes off as the type to be very very active away from the ball. He is viewed as a 2nd round prospect right now on NBAdraft.net.

But he is the type of prospect we need. Players who seem like they can impact the game without needing the ball in there hands.
