Very underrated player in my opinion. He won't be a very solid defender in the NBA, but he's a great shooter and is very athletic. He's gone under the radar, but he will be a good choice as a late lotto.
Dunno. It's hard to gauge his stock right now. I would agree with draftexpress that hes got role player potential but I'd also say hes a pretty safe bet to be a nice role player in the league. So low risk, low reward. The question is where does that land him in the draft? I think if he goes mid-late first some good or even contending team could scoop him up and turn him into a really good role player and everyone will be riding his jock. On the other hand if he goes higher and to a contending team who is expecting him to be a difference maker for their franchise, he'll probably be looked at as a disappointment. All in all hes just a solid all around wing who's pretty smart and coachable. If I had to compare him to someone I'd say Kelenna Azubuike; a guy who's a good athlete (besides lateral quickness), can shoot it, can finish at the rim, has ok defense, plays a team game and takes what the defense gives him, can get to the rim when there's an opening but doesn't have a good enough handle to consistently create off the dribble. Every team could use a nice all around SG/SF like that but how many teams are willing to use a lotto/mid-first on a guy who they project out to be a bench player? I really like him as a role player. If a team drafts him expecting him to be an above average starter, I think they'd probably be disappointed. Oh yeah and hes a guard from Arizona so you know he'll be at least a decent player in the league .
