        Yes, that, as well as court vision and his ability to attack the rim. He has a very aggressive nature to how he runs his offense, he's patient, but he's always attacking. It's hard to teach stuff like that.

          Fred Van Vleet could be a true star at Wichita State. He does everything on the court, leading Auburn in points, rebounds, assists and steals during their state playoff run. He doesn't look quick, but he gets past just about everybody. He plays physical and strong. He reminds me more of Deron Williams than any other player I've ever covered. Of course, Deron Williams was three inches taller. That's a big difference.

            FVV reminds me more of a rod strickland - john stockton. Great pg skills with the ability to score also.

              This was my favorite part:

              But Fred Van Vleet improved his outside shot dramatically his senior season. Deron Williams did the same thing before leading Illinois to the NCAA title game as a junior.

              • Well, he definitely got screwed over for Mr. Basketball Illinois. He will flourish under Wichita State, I have NO DOUBT. FVV to Early? Are you kidding me? Now it's all over.

                  Probably only one year of lot of FVV to Early, but look at next year's Fr class.

                  PG - FVV
                  SG - Baker
                  SF - Green
                  PF - Hawkins
                  C - Uwadiae

                  I'm seeing 3 years of that group getting decent minutes playing together. Maybe only 2 for Henry. Throw in another two years of that group with Cotton and White and the future (past next year) is looking good. Next year isn't looking "bad", but I don;t think we're getting anything past the NIT.
                  The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
                  We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

                  • ESPN updated their recruiting database today and now shows FVV as #81 overall for the class of 2012.

                          I counted 5, but no matter 6 or 5, this is awesome. Glad Fred is getting the recognition he deserves. I'm also thrilled that ESPN had the guts to do this. When a kid signs early to a non bcs team, he's all but written off by most of the recruiting gurus.

                          • And still FVV looks to get better. 6.5 hours of ball today, and not happy about 14 point guards ahead of him.

                            Already LOVE this kid.

                              Is it possible someone outworks Graham?

                                I'm not happy about that either. I'm also not happy about people questioning his quickness when that seems to be his strength. Let me see.. could FVV leave Nic Moore in the dust? Hmm.. Could he pick Chatman's pocket? And scare the sh*t out of him, from the quickness of it?

                                We will find out.
