People look at him shoot the ball a ton and think "oh, he canīt pass" when in fact he basically wasnīt "allowed" to pass on a team living and dying on his scoring. Again, put him on a big school and he still drops 20-24 points but also gets 8 assists a game. Heīs going to be just fine in the league.
I just donīt buy that "he isnīt a PG" when he showed heīs capable of executing every pass he needs on a team without reliable options next to him (Lovedale excluded propably)
But i guess weīll have to wait to see how it turns out

He's still the 4th or 5th best PG in the draft. I'm sure he can make the pass, but that's not what's holding him back. The other guys are just better.
