Newton is really an interesting case study.

1) He has definitely helped himself by staying.  (Future players take note)
2) The fact this team is SO unselfish and has so many options still hurts his stock.
3) Credit to him for being team first and not using the year as a showcase or highlight video.

The Kansas game is a huge plus for him that won't go unnoticed.  Like the National Championship, when they needed him to do more, he did in a big way.  And I feel like he could do that every night.

4) I don't know where his game fits in the NBA template.   I don't think he's a starter.  His size and ability to draw contact and drive/dish is a plus.  He's not an NBA 3 threat.
5) If he's the main driver to a repeat down the stretch, he'll go down as one of the greatest handful of Huskies of all time.

All in all, I think he's a solid NBA piece of the right puzzle and will have a 10 year career if a team sees him fitting into their scheme.
