You could be right, besides a slight tendency to commit charges here and there, his offensive game looks really polished. The offensive foul thing will improve as he gains confidence and a feel for this level of hoops. The fact that he made a layup and then hit three free throws to take the lead from 2 to 7 at the end of one of the biggest games on one of the biggest stages of the season shows the poise he plays with already. That was his 9th college game, and he scored 10 of his 15 points in the second half. That's a gamer.

We might of benefitted from him being on the same team as Jayson Tatum, the frosh at Duke that will be a top 5 NBA draft pick next year, from the aspect of being overshadowed by him. This kid looked like a pure facilitating point guard and was advertised to be as much. He was obviously deferring but this kid can score from all over the floor in a number of ways.

i've seen him be shaky and take poor shots. And he still made bad shooting decisions against Pitt

But he was clutch down the stretch AND had no turnovers against Pitt. Hopefully he keeps rising to the challenge.
