There were games at the beginning of last season where he was the best player on the court and looked like a definite NBA talent. He definitely struggled with consistency, but if he can get back to being close to 100% athletically and improves his skills, he will be a big factor.

Agreed, he stood out at the Garden last year.
 
This kid is amazing. I remember his injury last year. Such a tough exit for him. Then, to see him come back to the gym and his teammates all swarmed him. I've got nothing but love, hope, and respect for this kid. I am super happy for this kid and where he is today. He's probably earned more than he was expected to.
 
Anyone who has played sports and was on the field/court when an Achilles injury happened to someone....Never forgets it.. I was blown away by the onions AA displayed at the time of the injury.. I'm more blown away by his recovery.. Hope he crushes it this year.
 
He looked much smoother and relaxed on his outside shots in that short video and showed nice ability with the ball. Hopefully he'll feel confident about his recovery and will be more relaxed and not rush his shots this year. We spoke with him briefly in Charleston and he is a very nice young man with a great smile he should show more often.

Awesome stuff!! Quite frankly I got a little emotional watching that. Such a tremendous kid and I cannot wait to see him back on the court
