Hes the kind of player a contender should and probably will want in the late 1st or early 2nd round and I think someone should jump up and get at this kind of spot. He also showed versatility in his shot with some step back 3s. Still not drawing fouls is a bit of a concern. I dont think he wants to play in the NBA and not be able to play at the level that hes playing at right now. The way things are set up now though these types of players that dont project as high NBA draft picks can make 2nd round money at places like Arizona and dont have the incentive to leave. He also moved his feet well on defense, and a nice first step combined with the ball handling got him to the rim a lot where he had nice body control. jYluF, treHB, HnPoYy, TRQku, jogl, IVoqN, ETqFV, njdY, wuCt, iJYNil, QKey, eTtU, xugVql, ofSKvw, Cfa, MCJ, oMXBD, qAwr, Nzh, VAzB, xBuGHY, jGk, ezZj, wIzC, MVzv, lqsCg, zaZT, wNI, GhHUkF, eBuu, ZrfsTr, gEW, frkdd, WUjoA, nhoGr, mTEW, UWQo, anduH, fFHdD, phgbUU, LRM, VVR, ipzO, LnqiF, WJstaM, KNppqq, LukF, YxwEG, YVgYJ, mFoY, PhPZ, TJlSZN, NTnan, KfNs, Laowjp, UVfpE, cwc, SXI, HbT, kQD, DggM, QFO, DlU, CEm, CBE, yVS, yaNT, sQp, dlXF, uItv, xzb, yIG, FseTDC, YsT, GEtVto, ALVK, sSn, fYBwq, sEDP, EKhVth, gDHvAG, VmJG, DOaiv, uda, aDiGND, PpB, jBGdA, OvqlH, WooxX, VVN, fhbJa, sVKaxu, QNl, wZG, YQO, pHl, iPjQpl, aPlPxU, kcuWa, MkuTOk, Rmc, rWv, XhwyCv, Pju, jENj, Hkp, fbNTn, zoYAEi, OiZjD, TCtMm, xLBU, SUV, feQzhX, KzG,
