Gets excellent lift on his jumpshot... Great elevation on jumper which is nearly impossible to block... Aggressive player who gets to the line often and converts his FTs at a good clip Averaged over 90% as a senior in high school... Great vision and good timing on passes... Excellent ball-handling ability... Aggressive defender... Anticipates passes well and forces a ton of steals with his on ball pressure... Knows how to create his own shot... An absolutely jaw dropping physical specimen with his combination of size, length, strength, athleticism and mobility

He has problems defending stronger guys and playing post up on offense, has to improve his timing on rebounds and his patience on defense.

Lannce Dean

An on-target shooter with a high-rising jumper and pretty form... Range well out past the 3-point line... Gets to the line well and shoots at a solid clip... Creates well off the dribble with a quick first step... Incredible quickness and ball handling ability make taking any defender 1-1 appear effortless... Opponents can’t get in front of him... Plays a team game, and understands how to play, great court vision... One of the most athletic players in all of college basketball

Has improved his rebounding but still plenty of room for improvement... Lacks shot blocking ability

Will Lee

Not a great spot up shooter, makes most of his shots moving towards the basket, a rhythm shooter... Tremendous shooter, one of the top three point shooters in the country... Free throw shooting is excellent... Posesses good vision and passing skills... Has a great fake and hesitations package, which he uses to beat his defender off the dribble or on fast-break.... Big, athletic guard that can really defend on and off the ball... Has very quick hands, and reads the passing lanes, and can rip someone from the dibble... An extraordinary athlete, there are few as athletic as him

Often jumps straight up for rebounds instead of boxing out... Lacks shot blocking ability

Quin Riley

Tremendous leaper with great outside shooting ability... Free throw shooting is excellent... Makes a lot of spectacular passes, but in trying to do so makes a lot of turnovers... Very fast running the floor and can push the ball very well... Quickness and anticipation make him a solid off the ball defender

In these situations is where he shows his great scoring ability, but he has a tendency to force shots and make poor decisions

Mike Donald

Great shooter, very adept shot and has range out to 3 point... Usually converts when he gets to the charity stripe... Vision and passing ability is average... His ball handling ability is his strength... Plays hard on defense but lacks great lateral quickness

Offensive game is still limited, his shooting form is good, just needs to keep working on it... Aggressiveness defensively can lead to foul problems, he can also get caught gambling for steals
