Committed To: Arizona

Perhaps the quickest player in this class, and has ridiculous handles and courtvision. Additionally, he is more of a pure point guard than his counterparts Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday, and is a more polished passer and has better vision than those two. He has the ability to make those around him better. Nice jumpshot from midrange or three, and combined with his ability to penetrate the D he can carry the offense on his back. Very dangerous off the dribble, whether he is looking to pass or shoot. Extraordinary athlete, and even at his small stature finishes around the rim with high-flying dunks.

He needs to put on A LOT of weight, and get up to the 190's. He's an above average, not great, decision maker. He is less effective in the half-court, at times looking somewhat confused, and much prefers an uptempo style. This should all improve however, with experience and good coaching.

Excellent ball-handling ability is the first thing you notice about this kid. Tyreke has shown great slashing ability, and gets to the rim with ease and finishes the job when he gets there. His giant wingspan allow him to be a pesky defender. Arguably the best scoring guard in the class of '08. His three point range goes all the way out to NBA three. Runs the fast break well. Has the potential to be an elite guard in the pros.

He is extremely flashy, which may not bode well for him on the next levels. He needs to become more fundamentally sound. Some question his effort at times. If he plans on playing shooting guard at the next level, he needs to learn to be effective without always having the ball in his hands, as he is more effective creating off the dribble.

Player Profile: Jrue Holiday - PG

Committed To: UCLA

Jrue Holiday is an excellent scorer who makes the game look easy. He plays with great intensity on the defensive end. He has shown an ability to shoot out to three point range as well. Jrue excels in a faster paced up-tempo style, using his court vision to find open teammates. He's an elite scorer at the point guard position, with an extremely quick first step and a knack for getting to the rim. He is a great decision maker for his age and position and should translate well to college and the pro ranks.

He is not a "pass-first" point guard, and prefers to score. Has the ability to be, but prefers to create for himself more than others. He could stand to hit the weights as well, as he occasionally struggles to finish around the rim.
