JP Prince from Tennessee, cousin to the better known Tayshon Prince of the Pistons. This kid has all the skills to be a good NBA point guard. He would be somewhat of a project because he hasn't played point enough in college but he could be like Rondo who turned out to be way better in the pros then anyone expected. His skill set is very similar to Rondo. He is 6'7'' with a 83 inch wing span. Prince is a very good defender who struggles at times with his jumper and from the foul line. He is a great play maker who can handle, pass, and score.
He has been held back a bit in college by a very serious illness where he had to be induced into a coma for 18 days and then transferred from Arizona to Tennessee. He has also undergone two shoulder surgeries, one on each shoulder. He now says he feels healthy for the first time and has been playing great his senior year. Watch him next weekend in the tourney as he matches up with Evan Turner of Ohio State and see what you think. Unless he really becomes hot we could probably get him in the second round or maybe even undrafted.
