Lol, was thinking the same thing.  I think all of the things that he mentioned are actually his weaknesses.  He struggles finishing, struggles beating his man without a ball screen, and REALLY struggles to get his jumpshot off unless he's completely left open.

Personally, I can't help but compare him to MCW, who went 11th in a weaker draft.

To me, MCW projected as an elite defender, elite rebounder, and elite passer with elite court vision and above average athleticism with decent scoring instincts (but poor scoring ability).  If he just becomes an average scorer, he'd probably be among the best PGs in the NBA.

With Ennis, he's an elite game-manager, but I think his passing and court vision is just average for an NBA PG.  His rebounding ability won't be anything special at the next level.  His defense will likely be poor.  And while he struggles with his finishing ability like MCW did, he doesn't project to be someone that can ever be an above average finisher.  He also struggles shooting the ball (not as much as MCW though), but worse than MCW, his shot is very slow, and so he pretty much needs to be wide open to get it off.  That stuff works at the college level, but he has a far longer way to go to be a successful starting PG in the NBA than MCW did.
