3. What is the most appealing attribute about Tyler Ennis' game for NBA teams?
Goodman: His even-keeled mentality and ability to make quality decisions on the court. He's a pure point guard and makes his teammates better. The freshman rarely makes mistakes, and he plays with the poise and maturity of a senior.
Pelton: His late-game play. Ennis has been more efficient in the clutch this season, and while he mostly set up
Jerami Grant down the stretch in Saturday's win over Duke, Syracuse's rise to the top of the rankings should make him more attractive to NBA teams.
Haberstroh: His steal rate. Ford and Pelton
have covered this ground already, but that's a big-time indicator for NBA success. We could sit here all day and spit out clichés about how he's "a winner" because of Syracuse's spotless record. But to me, grabbing 2.7 steals per 40 minutes is more telling than his team's success.
Doolittle: It's got to be his decision-making. Most young point guards these days come into the league better suited to get their own shot as opposed to distributing. Ennis has a knack for setting up teammates and can really orchestrate the pick-and-roll.
Elhassan: Decision-making. Despite having the ball in his hands so much and creating much of the offense for Syracuse, Ennis does not turn the ball over very often (11 percent turnover rate). This is an incredibly low rate for a point guard, particularly when you consider he's only 19, and it speaks to his ability to create reward without assuming risk.
