I have a strong feeling that Amauri Hardy will be coming to Illinois. Slashing lefty combo guard who is built like a Free Safety - going to be rocked up after a year or two with Fletch. Very athletic, decent shooter, explosive scorer who can finish at the rim. Uses lots of hesitation and spin moves to get in the lane. Good passer. Plays angry. Will get some highlight dunks.
Why is he not a top-100 player? 1) Seems to be just an okay outside shooter, 2) PG size, but doesn't have the handle (weak right hand - always goes left), 3) very good athlete (would be potentially the best on our team), but not a freak (similar to Da'Monte athletically - probably a little quicker).
I'd definitely take him. Hyper aggressive scoring guard who will rack up steals on defense. Not highly rated because at the end of the day he's a 6'1 shooting guard who can't go right and isn't a lights-out shooter. Okay ball handler and pretty good shooter, so don't be afraid. Probably won't end up as good as Jevon Carter from WVU, but I feel like there are some similarities.
