Got a call last night from a friend who knows an assistant coach on an opposing team who plays against Elon.
Here's what the coach said. Since this is not my info take it as you see fit.
Slender, almost wiry 6-5 guard. Has Big East athleticism and a Big East game. Strong to the basket but lacks a quality outside shot. Not afraid to mix it up under the boards but must control his turnovers as he gets about 2 a game.
Excellent defender who plays in the zone well. Anticipates passing lanes getting a lot of steals (1.6 a game),
Will get a lot of minutes and depending on who else is on the roster could start if needed.
