-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outlook:
Has the versatility to play virtually anywhere on the court. Has incredible quickness for a player his size. He possesses the athletic ability to be the defensive stopper we have been looking for the last couple of seasons. He he has an uncanny offensive ability to handle the ball for a large man, and make other people look good with timely passes. At this point he is versatile enough to play two or three different positions. That can only become a plus as his career develops.
