... An excellent playmaker with crisp, accurate passing skills and
an outstanding shot with a quick release ... He anticipates well
and is excellent at the give-and-go type plays ... Strong along
the boards, physical play does not appear to bother him or throw
him off his game ... He is unselfish and always patient, a very
mature individual ... Extremely talented and often shows ability
beyond his years.
