Uh, turnovers does not, you know, consistently make great decisions as a passer, in my opinion, and can sometimes over penetrate and over dribble and get himself into a little bit of trouble. He's also not really a shooter at this point. So. there are a number of things that I think he's going to have to work through in order to be a good NBA player early in his career.

And I don't really see him being a good NBA player early in his career, but he might be so capable of getting paint touches in driving, you know, buckets at the basket because he is such a lightning quick driver of the ball and has good last step. Acceleration has good first step acceleration. Like I, the name Monte Ellis is one that has kind of come up when I've talked to NBA scouts.

Like that's kind of an interesting one to me, but yeah, you know, he's one that has certainly risen up the boards this year. And, you know, we all kind of want to see more. The last guy, this is more like in Maui and just throughout the course of the season is Jace Richardson at Michigan state, Jason Richardson, you know, former dunk contest champions kid.

Couldn't be more different as players like Jace is basically kind of ground bound and is not this high flyer like Jason was. And is, you know, just this really smart, super high level decision maker more than anything. Um, whenever I watch him, I am such a big fan of watching the way that he makes defensive decisions, watching the way that he makes consistent decisions as a passer.

you know, didn't really get a chance all that often on the ball necessarily because cam particularly, uh, you know, potential number one, overall pick number two, overall pick next season, uh, is on the ball all the time there because he's, you know, Apollo Bankaro type kind of prospect, maybe a little bit thicker and not quite as capable on the ball, but, uh, something in that vicinity.

So he hasn't gotten a crazy amount of on-ball reps throughout the course of his career. And at Michigan State, he's obviously not getting a crazy amount either because Tom Izzo doesn't really hand the ball over to freshmen regularly. But I do think there's a lot of latent ball skill there.
