Thanks for posting this, Tomcat.

He is certainly a nice player to pick up!

To me, he seems like a cross between Tyus Battle (not quite the driver, but similar midrange game) and Mali Richardson (not quite the shooter that Mali was, but certainly more natural than Battle).

His hesitation move to the left and then drive to the right works almost every time at his current level, but the first dribble he takes after he makes his fake to the left is always kind of a high bounce that might get swiped at the college level.  So he has to tighten up his handle on that move for sure.

He uses that fake left, drive right so often that by the 3 minute mark, I was wondering if he ever goes left.  Then he does a couple times in a row on the tape, so I'm glad he has that in his locker to keep defenders honest.

He has NBA range on his outside shot, but his release point is a little low.  His form is not picture perfect, but his touch is very good.  He feels like a shooter.

Very nice addition, and in his acceptance post on Twitter, he talked about attending the university, not just auditioning for the NBA.  I like that a lot.  Very classy.  I wish this kid nothing but the best.
