NBA Comparison/Status
Upside
Most probably a Magic Johnson.
More explosive Grant Hill.
Downside
less likely a Lamar Odom.

STRENGTHS:

-His eyes are over the rim on occasion when he jumps

-Excellent court awareness, scoring presence due to his size, athleticism, strength. As time passes his size will become his biggest attribute

-Excellent co-ordination for his size and can catch the ball and do things with it in mid-air or handle the 35 foot bounce pass without full concentration on it.

-As with most young players, he plays fast and will use his quickness to overwhelm defenders in his first few years in the NBA

WEAKNESSES :

-He is perhaps a little overrated athletically as his lateral mobility is only very good, less mobile than McGrady.

-He has small feet (size 15 at this point) and requires the use of both his legs pushing off to get extremely high off the ground.

-His length will be his greatest attribute on the defensive end, but if he plays the point he will have a hard time guarding a decent quick offensive NBA point guard such as a Tony Parker or Mike Bibby.

-Has not shown any post moves with his back to the basket

-Inconsistent shooting outside of 18 feet, but this should improve
