i think he has a shot to go in the late first round this year because of his good court vision and passing. he is a true PG.

[CV3bandwagon]

I think without question he has NBA game. I think his teamates are too far beneath him talent wise to really see what he's capable of. He tries to get them more involved but outside of Jospeh Jones he has nothing really. He has a lot of tricks offensively and can get in the lane at will. He has a nice aray of floaters and finishing moves. I'm not sure if he's a pure point guard though. He seems more like a change of pace scoring guard off the bench to me. He's not selfish it's just that he has a very good offensive game of his own. Definatly an NBA talent though.

[Hitster]

He has a great chance of going in the first round especially as there are relatively few good guards in next year's draft. Would be a nice pick for one of the play-off teams from 21-30 region. Could be developed into a very useful back-up combo guard who can give 15-20 minutes from the bench.

UPDATED LAW
I think Law will be a late first round pick this year. He could become a 6thman/complimentary starter in the league. I think he will spend most of his career off the bench though.

Clutch, leader, can play in half court and uptempo game, quick, good off ball defender (gets into passing lanes), slasher (good penetrate and disher and can take all way and finish with both hands struggle to finish after contact), good ballhandler, skilled, good midrange game (pullup jumper), pass first PG, high basketball IQ, needs to add strength/weight, needs to improve his 3pt shooting (can hit but very inconsistent), not very explosive, doesn't play hard on defense all the time, needs to improve his passing (can telegraph and force turnovers), needs to improve his PG skills (knowing how to get it to players in ways they can score easily, his teammates strengths/weaknesses so he can make them better), can get in foul trouble due to going for too many onball steals, inconsistent.

What about Josh Carter and Antanas Kavaliauskas? Carters avg. 12.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists a game while playing more than 4 minutes a game less than Law (15.9, 2.8, 5.0), and Kavaliauskas is at 12.3, 5.6, and 1.5. Texas A&M are an extremly deep team, can go up to 9/10 deep in certain cases. This has been proved by the last few games against Kansas and Texas where they were in foul trouble throughout the game and Kavaliauskas and Jones had fouled out with 5 minutes left against Texas yet they have won both games. They have 7 players playing more than 16 minutes a game and have helf oppents to 34% shooting from the feild while shooting over 50% themselves as a team. Law is undoubtably the leader and best player on the team but they are by no means untalented.

[Mr. Body]

I think people are getting wise to A&M's depth. That Texas game was an eye-opener. With the foul trouble they were in, it was clear the Longhorns could capitalize, but failed to do so. Mark a good part of the credit to Gillespie for great coaching, but the rest of that team pulled through. They're not just Acie Law.

[grizz101]

After watching him against Texas, I think he has a legit shot of being a top 20 pick

[coachjon]

Yes I think with his good season Law could go all the way up to the late lottery when it is all said and done with. He defiently will be the first PG taken this year.
