    Haven't seen anything posted on this guy here. Pretty sick, getting recruited by some well-respected programs.

    Think he'll be any good in college? He's only a junior in HS so I guess he could still grow.

    Nothing to not like from that video...

    but then, it's a highlight video. Way way way too early to make a call about this kids ultimate potential. Beyond the fact that he might not stay 5'6, you really got to have a special skillset at that size to make it at high level NCAA or pro. That said, he seems to be well on his way to that special skillset (ballhandling, and unique scoring ability, ala all the great little men who became pro's), and the NBA seems as tailored now as it ever has for smaller guards.

    This guy is one of the slickest in game ball handlers I've seen.

    Judging from that video of course...

    He's not going to make it in the NBA.
    That weak ass layup is going to get ANNIHILATED by the likes of Dwight and DeAndre.

    Good handles though.

    Oh really? One of the greatest centers of all time will be able to block the shots of a high school kid? No way! Please give us more valuable input.

    Player's games don't change that much from High School to the pros. Other than the addition of one or two things.

    I'm just saying if he ever gets in the NBA (he won't) he's going to get demolished. He might even get demolished in college to be honest if he plays against good D1 schools.

    He looks legit, very athletic, great handles and an ok shot...to bad about his hight though unless he gets up to at least 5'10 in shoes i doubt he's gonna be anything special. On the other hand you never know, if he could get an insane vert like Nate than it doesn't matter how tall he'll be.

    He can make it to the nba, just hope he has the right crowd around him. He's crazy athletic.

    He's rated the 9th best high school point guard for the class of 2013 according to Rivals, so he's obviously a talent regardless of height.

    Interestingly enough, the #1 rated high school point guard and #1 player overall for the class of 2013 is Andrew Harrison from Fort Bend Travis.

    Kiwi Gardner has me more hyped, dude has crazy court vision.

    Don't know if they'll make it to the NBA, but they love basketball and you can see it on every play.
