I like his potential. He can shoot, he can put the ball on the floor, hes got a good size at the small forward position. We had Kris in for a workout. We watched him very close this year and then he performed excellent in a workout with some of the top 3s in the draft this year. He wasnt as consistent as I would like to see him in his years at Syracuse, but he shows flashes of being a very good player. "
