I'll admit he has come a long way from the beginning of the season, and even since he came back from his first injury. Still a little turnover prone, but as many have said on this board, turnovers tend to go away with age. I still would like his assist numbers to rise a bit, but with the offense we are running its tough to put up huge assist numbers. Would love to see him in future years beat teams like Wisconsin and Northwestern by playing uptempo and finding the open guy before Wisky can sit down in their defense or NW can get in the pesky 1-3-1 zone.
Handles are improving significantly which seems to be more from confidence than anything. He like Rodney are riding some very high confidence waves and should carry over nicely into our non conference schedule next year. By B1G Conference play these two should feel and play like all conference players.
I openly doubted his ability when he first took over the starting job, thinking it was too big for him and he wasn't a true point guard. I'm starting to come around on his ability to grasp it and I got to give props to Tubby for sticking with him, definately the right call over forcing Welch back into the starting role.
High Hopes and expectations for this kid. He is my excitement to carry me over until next years tip off.
