This is my primary take on what makes him special too.  He does try the quick flick pass and drives aggressive.  But he is unique - I think - in how he understands spacing of himself to his teammates; and then what they are capable of.  He just innately is looking for that one guy who can deliver and knows when he is well positioned for the play.  He plays within himself when the offense is in flow; and doesn't ingress egress into space that would make someone else's defender to overplay.

He loves the fastbreak.  And that often is when he makes the errors by just fierce push.  He just needs to slow his mind down to let the play develop to something easier as the defense makes mistakes retreating.

Defense?  Of course he's excellent; by pure passion.  He doesn't overreach.  He is always a PLUS defensive rebounder by pure emotional need.  Goood feet and active hands flowing.  I don't think Villanova will find him easily posted.   I loved the Scottie Pippen analogy when I first heard it ... needless to say, he ain't there.  Could be.
