    Depends who you ask really. His deficiencies have been well documented, those being his size and ability to defend players one on one. Personally I have huge wraps for the kid; he is as quick as anyone in the league at the moment, his ballhandling and court vision can be dazzling at times, and he has a nice stroke from the perimeter.

    Bottom line is he makes a few rookie mistakes and will obviously get limited time as the season progresses and Nate looks to develop him slowly, but I have no doubts in his ability to run this team in a couple of seasons. Some see him as just a solid starter/roleplayer in his career, I think he has the potential to be a Steve Nash sort of player.

    I like him as a kid who can change the tempo off the bench...pressure opponents, hit 3s...be a difference-maker and spark the offense...
