The amount of athletic IQ (not to mention work ethic) that is required to be an elite point guard, quarterback, and defensive back at the same time is insane, but it also means that there are parts of his game that are a little raw simply because prior to this year he was only 50% focused on basketball. Tighten up the handle, refine the shot. Surround him with an elite NBA coaching staff and peers, and in a few years he could be one of the top offensive floor-generals in the game, while also being an excellent defender both on-and-off ball. So for me his upside is a little underrated. Two-way floor-general PGs are such an excellent championship contender archetype.

co signed on all of that... plus he's a Minnesota kid, so the weather isn't going to be something that is going to be an issue for him imo
