Yep. If he learns to finish, look out.
His move against FSU, where he completely shredded the D and went in for a lefthanded layup, was something no other player on the current roster could come close to. The problem, of course, is that he missed the layup. :)
Watching him, I see a guy who just rushes things when he's at the rim. I think he needs to work on keeping the initial explosiveness, but finishing more smoothly. Do that, and he becomes the reliable slasher that VT has been missing the past few years.

Needs “softer” hands. For an athletic guy, he has kind of clumsy hands.

He just needs the confidence to finish strong at hoop. **
