He has really good basketball IQ, much advanced for the youngest player in the NBA. Yeah, he gets the rookie treatment from refs but he also gets away with travels a bit (watch his hop steps, very crab dribble-esque). Really nice to see a Bobcat's rookie pan out immediately but I'm curious how well he responds to hitting the rookie wall. He's an integral part of the team so eventually opposing teams are going to have him better scouted when they play us again.
I'm thrilled with his handles, didn't see much of that at UK, and his rebounding as well. If he keeps developing at this rate and we net a stud big in the draft/FA I can thankfully give Cho and Co. a pass for missing out on Drummond.
