I originally just stuck to comparing RJ to the other two guards mentioned- Taliek and KO.  Someone else brought up KEA and I was responding to it.

Look at UConn PG's of the past 30 years- Smith, George, KO, Droron, Ricky, KEA, Taliek, AJ, Kemba, Bazz, Boat, Jalen, Alterique and RJ. RJ is clearly towards the lower tier of speed, size and athleticism.

I think he is a competent passer and definitely lost assists last seasons when players fumbled nice passes from him, but I don't think he is elite in his court vision to make up for average (at best) measurables.

If UConn can run some nice inside out sets, reverse the ball and have a good shooter on the court opposite of RJ I think he'll shoot really well and that's when he is at his best.  As I said in other threads I want him more as a complimentary scorer at 3rd or 4th each game.  He may end up being the second leading scorer for the season but rarely be the second leading scorer in each game.
