Grew an inch(6'3), looking more explosive. Good stuff.

Man this cat is smooth and crafty. And I think he’s getting more confidence too.
That shot release seems even lower than I remember but it’s going in and enough guys shoot that way I won’t complain.

Haha about the release point? I’m not aware that’s a huge debate here, but I know it’s been discussed.
To me he has a Curry-esque release but it looked extra low in that video. I’m just more of a preference to a bit higher release, the Ray Allen/Kobe generation, I think it’s easier on pull ups and getting elevation on a defender when that’s necessary and I do think it’s a bit easier to be accurate consistently.
But like I said I have no issue with his form at all and dudes shoot all different ways and I am on board with whatever is within the overall context of good form, is repeatable and is comfortable.

His drives to the hole remind me of Shabazz

Aj Price was a jump shooter. Devastating pull up. Don’t see this kid developing that.
im going to assume he’s one of those kids that highlights dont do justice. IQ, composure, change of speeds all that.
the amount of misses that are going to be in this 2021 class is going to be insane. Kids who would of played themselves into high major offers didn’t get too. And their is a handful of kids that would of played themselves out of high major offers. nit At all saying this about this kid.

Having that solid left finish is important like that a lot. His ability to drive by leaves him space to have that push shot which he does deliver very quickly nonetheless. We didn't see on this one how good of a passer he is which I believe is a strength. Growing more is awesome because when they start saying your "6'3 now..." that means you are at least 6-1 or so. LOL

Very crafty and i won’t comment on that low release point since others have already chimed in. Really like this kid’s handle & change of pace.

If you watch some of those summarized full game videos, you realize this kid's game is not done justice by pure highlight videos.
If you watch the games, he runs a team and offense as well as any high school PG you'll see. His handle is rock solid and the game is played at his pace not anyone else's. He finds his teammates in positions to be effective....and he can put up points as needed but he's running the team first and foremost.

Seems like a Jalen Brunson type player who just almost always makes the right decision.
Playing cat and mouse with those defenders.. HS shooting form always changes when you move up to college level athletes who can swat low releases all day long.. He'll be fine as he gains strength and conditioning.. Looking forward to his leadership on the floor.. Great pickup by UConn..
