He's got a knack for scoring, passing and moving the ball. He came from a really spread-court driving team to now setting screens and getting down to the details of the game. He is a real bright young man, a great kid to coach and he is making the typical adjustments. He has a good sense of the game. I just have a lot of respect for him as a person and love coaching him."
