Some thoughts on Crew Ainge after watching his full highlights

Watch this video on YouTube


Initially i thought the post about Duke looking at this kid had to be a joke because his brothers have been solid players, but not great athletes. After watching the highlights i can see why Duke would be interested. If this kid was 6'2 he'd be a top 50 recruit in the country. His height is the only big draw back i can see.

He has elite speed. This is his best attribute by far. Its like watch Ty Lawson blow by people in college. Hes faster at running the court than Micheal Lloyd Jr. was and that is saying something. This would be a huge plus in our offense especially on the fast break. BYU hasn't had someone who could drive as fast as this kid in the last 15 years at least.
The kid might be short 5'10 or 5'11 but he has a great vertical that makes up for his lack of height. Hes the leading rebounder on his team even though there our guys that are much taller that he plays him.
He has a ridiculous ability to drive and make shots over much bigger players like Jimmer used to. You can tell he has a super high Basketball IQ.
He is an incredible passer and unselfish player. When he drives he is always looking for the open man.
He has a good looking 3 point shot and can make shots several feet behind the 3 point line.
He plays good defense, and when he steals the ball its really easy for him to blow past everyone and score like Emery used to.

I really hope we are able to sign this kid.
