Message: [QUOTE="UConn2SF, post: 3683081, member: 654"] Here's a good write-up on Rahsool from a Philly focused basketball site, a portion of which describes how his skillset and mentality compares to some of the great UConn point guards of the past. It also touches on his potential impact at the next level as a defender. Sounds to me like Rahsool has everything a coach would ook for or could want in a point guard: the total package. [I] “[UConn has’ always had those Northeast, downhill on-ball guards who they can play through,” Elite High School Scouting director Ari Rosenfeld said. [B]“Not that he’s the same type of player as a Kemba Walker or Shabazz Napier … but mentality-wise, you’ve got that same kind of unflappability and composure that I think made those guys iconic.[/B]” In certain ways, Diggins doesn’t fit the stylistic mold of that lead guard for the Huskies. He’s not necessarily an elite bucket-getter in the way Chris Smith, UConn’s all-time leading scorer, was in the early 90s. Nor is he a flashy playmaker like Walker, who will forever be remembered for his stepback jumper. Instead, Diggins is more of a smooth, all-around operator: he certainly can score from all three levels, with a reliable outside jumper and ability to get into the lane and finish around the rim. He’s an excellent distributor who’s used to playing with Division I talent around him in both high school and college, and he can defend talented lead guards as well.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cityofbasketballlove.com/news_article/show/1121911[/URL] [/QUOTE]
