Of course he's a lefty.

In these clips I see a really athletic scorer. Nothing showing any skills of a point guard. Would be nice if we could find a point guard who can score as opposed to a scorer and trying to convert to a point guard. Of course I'm not an expert on analyzing talent.

Can't have too many lefties.

Odd that a 41% shooter from three is only hitting 61% at the line. What is it about these Canadians? Nick Wiggins had about as smooth a stroke as anyone this side of Frankamp (or maybe Lee Lampley, to hark back to the SI article about LeFred) and he wasn't very reliable from the foul line either.

IIRC, Fred's FT % is around 65% right now.........

VCU has offered.

[pogo]

VCU has offered.

Those Bastards.

[WSUwatcher]

Those Bastards.

Well, remember, pogo -- Shaka isn't there any more. Now you're going to start seeing Texas go after the top guys the Shocks chase.

Time to get excited about this kid.

[mumdaddy316]

Yes....yes....yes,and yes again. Kid has flair,swag and the game to back it up. (Not to mention he is a lefty too).

[pinstripers]

I think I like this kid better

[mumdaddy316]

He would definitely have an instant impact from day one.

Can finish at the rim with either hand.
