Watching some of the clips, it looked like he had a solid handle and showed some quickness.  He used those to create space for his J but can he use it to do more? He's got good size at 6-6.  There's a clip of him throwing it down with authority.

Now maybe he's just a deep shooter, aka Joey Cal 2.0 (though Joey could put it on the floor, drive and dish), but I'm curious if Hurley can mold him into a more complete player who can defend and take it to the basket, and not just chuck it up from beyond the arc.

Now if all he can do is knock em down from deep at a 40+% clip, you won't find me complaining. :) 
But I feel we're going be pleasantly surprised to see more from him by season's end than just a 3 point specialist. If he wants any chance of making some solid coin after college, it would be in his best interest to learn to defend, find open teammates, team-rebound, drive it to the paint to knock down midrange shots or draw contact and get to the line. He's got the height, handle, and hops to be so much more than what he's been. He needs to get stronger, for sure. Let's see what Hurley and staff can do to transform him into more if he's willing to learn.
