[QUOTE="MCC, post: 474005, member: 145"]
Two things that bug me a bit about the analyses from Snow et al.: (1) he's not really a "late bloomer", he's young for his class (or am I wrong here?) so it's not unreasonable to expect him to get to 6'8" and fill out his frame and (2) it really sounds like he has the skills to be a 2/3 at the high major level, which means he'll be a nightmare matchup for essentially any college team, especially in JB's system. Point (2) is why I'm so keen to get a sense of BJ's defensive aptitude. We've already seen what MCW can do at the top of the zone; imagine BJ's length and lateral quickness up there. Good luck to any short guards who try to get an open look at a 3 in his vicinity. If he has good hands and anticipates, he will terrorize teams at both ends of the floor.
 
I haven't seen him play much but if the evaluations I've read of his skill set and work ethic are at all accurate then he's going to be dynamite for SU, the question is how soon. Not only that but he has the size to be successful in the NBA as a 2 that could slide to the 3 - which of course will make the program look even better for identifying and helping develop a solid rotation guy in the league. I really, really like the potential here.
