Nope. Like I said, I have always made it clear he has ball handling and passing skills that a point guard needs. Not concerned about that area of his game. He is comfortable running an offense. If he was at BU right now he would get some minutes because of the SM situation. As far as shooting goes I disagree. His scoring averages have always been high because of his ability to get to the rim and make layups and shoot alot of free throws. That is what his stats would tell you. Would not suprise me if two-thirds his point ave came from them. I have seen him play many many times over his high school career. He is not a good outside shooter. He is more of a dribble drive guard. Does not like to shoot a perimeter shot off the dribble and does not run off set picks like a Zobrist because he is mainly a point. Do you think he will penetrate and shoot layups anywhere near the rate he does in high school?
You say he is plenty quick enough but I have seen several Peoria area guards and ones at the Pekin tournament have their way with him. He has not been a good defender at Limestone. It is no secret that he has been inconsistent at the free throw line. 8 for 10 one night and 2 for 7 the next. Been that way last 2 years...... This is typical stuff all incoming freshmen deal with. A couple areas of their game are good and other skills are not good enough. Of course those things "can be improved "which is why I said "early in his BU career." Imo think it is wrong to count on an incoming freshman to be the one to solve our current problems of winning. If he "buys in" and works hard in practice to earn his minutes he should be a solid player for us.
