When Copeland gets either his hips or his shoulders past a defender, he owns the lane.  He sees really well, and he can finish with authority.  He can't make a three, but we've had lots of guys like that these past 10 years.

If you're a soccer fan, there is this Brazilian defender named David Luiz, who is about retired now.  But at his peak, he was a high-risk, high-reward kind of player.  Lots of moxie, sometimes made bad decisions, even decisions that could cost you games.  But he could also win games all by himself.

Copeland is going to be one of those kinds of guys, kind of like Scoop Jardine or Michael Carter-Williams.  He's not quite at their respective levels right now, but he's in a great teaching environment, playing with a true friend so he doesn't get homesick.  IMG is his prep school this year.  He is getting good competition, and really good practices, with other talented players who all want to make it to the next level.  He will contribute next year.  Book it.  I make a lot of good calls on players.
