This might be a sneaky brilliant pick up. He is a Chicago kid who went to Kansas, and went un-drafted.

He has elite pg speed in full and half court, and can get in the paint with both feet and finish with either hand. His dribbling is smooth, with a nice ball transition, where he can cross the defender over and blow by him. He is tremendous in isolation.

The negative, and why he went un-drafted: He is not much of a facilitator, opting to take the shot or putting it on the floor in ISO. He can pick and roll, and work off the screen, but he rarely gave up the ball in those situations. He can hit the three and mid range, but he is more of a catch and shoot guy. He is not a good pull up shooter, so defenders may go underneath screens not respecting his shot.

He is small. He is 6’2 with a small wing span, and doesn’t have the physical definition to be much of a defensive presence. So ,basically, he is more of a scoring pg. I think he can become a good facilitator through coaching, but this does not help our perimeter defense at all.

I like him though, another Derrick Rose, Coby White type of player ....with the potential to being developed to be an excellent facilitator. Plus he is another elite dribbler, and Donovan loves him some quick dribbling guards.

Dotson+White+Zach = Paul+Dennis+Shai?
