He plays under control. He goes strong to the basket both left and right. He's great finishing left and right. He has a very mature game around the rim. Saavy, creative, fundamentally sound.
He's strong. He's not an elite athlete, but he's athletic, and I think deceptively so. He's great at using his body to shield the ball and establish position for a shot.
He's a way better outside shooter than I thought. It's one thing to be hitting open looks in rhythm. It's another to be hitting step backs off the dribble. And his shooting will only get better.
He's not only not afraid of the big moment, he seems to relish it like all great players. And yet, at least thus far, he doesn't force things and plays within the offense. That's often the hardest thing for a great player to learn.
Defensively he works hard. He is not your typical offensive powerhouse that loafs on defense.
It's only been a month, but man. I hope he comes back next year, but if he keeps playing like this consistently (and it's not like this has been a one, or two, or three game thing), it's hard to see why he would. Guy is a stud.
