DraftExpress: Standing in-between courts 3 and 4 watching two of the top PGs, Tyus Jones and Joel Berry, play simultaneously. Peach Jam is awesome. #eybl 2012-07-21 12:05:28
DraftExpress: Tyus Jones, Joel Berry, Cat Barber, Tyler Ennis -- all made a strong impression this weekend I thought. Passing is back in style. #eybl 2012-07-21 08:14:40

Strengths:
-Solid frame. Good athlete
-True point guard
-Great floor presence. Leads the team. Wants to make others better
-Unselfish player. Terrific passer. Has a knack for getting teammates good shots
-Very good ball-handler. Strong first step. Can drive left or right
-Can create for himself and others. Gets to the basket. Can play above the rim at times
-Excellent decision maker. Doesn't hesitate in anything he does
-Has no qualms about playing strong defense. Gets in a low stance. Moves feet. Plays with good effort
-Expression never changes. Great court demeanor
Weaknesses:
-A little on the small side. Listed by most at 6-0
-Not a consistent outside shooter yet. Mechanics are not great
-Will he be able to finish inside the lane against better defenses in college?
-Needs to improve his floater
Outlook: Impressive young prospect. Pure point guard with seemingly outstanding intangibles. Shows a great knack for making others better already at a young age. Can score and defend a bit too. How much will his size hold him back long-term?
