“Of all the guys in the draft, he’s the one who I think has maybe the highest ceiling,” Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell told The Athletic. “He’s a talented guy, and I think some of the stuff that was said about him before the draft was unwarranted.

He can make plays for other people. He can get into the lane and make plays. I think in time, he has a chance to play the point guard position. I think he’s still growing physically. I know that I’m biased, but I think he is going to be really good.”
