The biggest question I have right now about how he projects to the NBA is what I see as his reluctance to press the advantage in transition and the mediocre results when he does press in transition.    I think he missed another layup yesterday in a fast break situation and pulled out on another situation where in past years we would had converted a transition opportunity immediately.     I would think that that would be a huge weakness/question mark for a potential NBA point guard.

I am still not sure why he isn't better at pressing the advantage in transition?     It may be the same quality that makes him so sure handed with the ball....he just tends to be conservative.

But IMO he needs to show improvement in this element of the game before he really has a shot at being a lottery pick.     But I'm no scout, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so maybe I'm wrong.    And, wait for it......it's only game 12 of his freshman year so who knows what we might see over the next 25 or so games.
