Every listing of the dude is as a wing, forward, or combo guard. Described as "well built" and "tough." There is not any mention about his being able to play point.

Here is a highlight video that consists of about 90% dunks and 10% threes. Not shown at all are any plays from the point where he's doing any driving and dishing or making any incredible passes.

That is part of Memphis' problem. We have a bunch of ball handlers that Penny considers able to run the offense. But just being able to dribble proficiently doesn't make one a point.

You can learn a lot more about a player by watching full games, not highlight reels. You get a much better feel for their bball IQ, decision making, etc. There are quite a few of his full games on youtube if you have some spare time. Reminds me of Tyreke a little. I think PG is feasible.

Tyreke was an ELITE high school player (top 5) not top 60. One year later he was NBA Rookie of the Year. He was gifted with skills only three or four Tigers ever possessed.

just making a comparison. Nobody said he's better or as good as Tyreke. He grabs rebounds and goes coast to coast similar to Tyreke. Similar size at 6'6". Geez.

Well, that's not a comparison, then. Geez.

I was also simply pointing out that the comparison isn't fair to Nesbit because Tyreke was other worldly.

The skillset of a top 60 recruit vs. that of a guy who would have been a top 10 NBA draft pick out of high school isn't fair.

"Reminds me of Tyreke a little" is hardly unfair. Of course your vast knowledge of watching one highlight film and declaring he can't play PG is quite fair. I see why this site is deserted.
