He isn’t a true guard with the 3 assist a game. But how can u look pasted his scoring ablity. As I have been sayin i think we need a piont guard and i think this guy would be a great spark off the bench. When Dwill is sitting out this kis comes in pushes the pace and gets 8 to 10 pionts a game. I think he would be a great back up for Dwill he will have to work on his passing but, he would do well behind Dwill.
