guards in the NBA will all be approx. 3" taller and 20 pounds (or more) heavier in the NBA...and they can all shoot lights out if open.

I'm not saying he can't make it in the NBA. His court vision is off the charts. He's great with the ball and is an amazing passer. All it will take is for one team to show interest in him, for him to get a chance. Luckily for him, his dad probably has connections.

He needs to put on some weight, get stronger, and improve his outside shot. The weight and strength will help him defensively. It might hurt his athleticism, but how often do you think he's going to be dunking in the NBA...versus playing defense? Weight and strength will be more important.
