His vision and passing ability remind a little of Rafer "Skip To My Lou" Alston who I used to see play in Rucker Park when he was still just a high school drop out making a name for himself in street ball.

Like Skip, Q just has a natural inclination to make a nice pass - often of the fancy, no-look variety - which often leads to turnovers but it just as often leads to a spectacular play. The key for Red & his staff is to teach Q - the way that Tark ultimately taught Skip at Fresno State - is how to control his gift, play smart and accept that sometimes the basic, fundamental play is the best play, not the crowd pleasing highlight.

If Cope ever figures it out, and as you pointed out, develops a consistent outside shot and/or a floater/mid-range shot, he just might make the league like Skip did.  Q's natural showmanship will likely lead to a professional career [I]somewhere[/I], even if it isn't in the NBA.  I could see him wowing crowds overseas professionally if he doesn't make the league.
