[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1535673, member: 517079"] Physically I don't know what else he could need besides 2". He's still 6'5", has a frame that can handle more mass, has great length/wingspan, and is a good athlete (not necessarily explosive, but enough). He also is clearly an excellent shooter. And he also proven an ability to work on his craft and improve. To me, those suggest he has the physical traits, likely has the mental aspect from what we've been able to see, and has at least one elite skill that is in very high demand. If he wants to make it to the league, I think the areas he'll need to improve are his defensive awareness and positioning, and his handle and ability to drive on closeouts without losing control. The idea that he's a PG is laughable, but he absolutely has the type of skillset (pending improvement) and physical attributes necessary to play a 3-and-D role at the 2 spot (Terence Davis would be a comp that comes to mind).
