    In our game against you guys, I thought he looked very comfortable for a kid playing in his 10th NBA game. We’ve got a bunch of guys in year two that still don’t look that comfortable (though they are younger than he is, I suppose.)

      Yeah. That extra college experience (combined with this smarts) make a big difference. He’s played in a lot of big games already. One final four and two sweet sixteens.

        Honestly, more competing teams should look towards rookies who played multiple years of college ball

        Not to mention he’s a SoCal kid whose been exposed to pro-level training and guidance since he was like 14-15 maybe younger…
