I don't think he has the moxey to do this. Personally, I don't think he
is ready for the NBA. At this level, he needs to focus on using his height mis-match more effectively offensively (dribble drives, or posting up smaller guards) and improve his defense. If college teams figure out how to effectively slow him down, imagine how it would be in the pros? He is a unique basketball athlete no doubt, but he is still learning. The one thing he needs to get better at is resiliency when things aren't going his way. I would love to see him stay another year and refine his game, but I may be looking through O&M glasses. The absolute truth is that no one is calling me up and asking my opinion, which leads me to believe no one is certain I have the ability to scout and evaluate talent. Truth hurts sometimes. Nevertheless, GO Neo, and GO HOKIES!

Not every point guard has Neo to defend. We've seen wings on him since
