Title: Nico Mannion, PG, Phoenix, AZ

Idk if this kid is on our radar or not, but he should be. His father Pace played in the league with Chris and he is projected to grow to 6'7. Scary athleticism for a rising sophomore, has terrific PG ability and appears to be a five tool player.

If he's only 6'1 at the end of his freshman year, it would take a miracle for him to see 6'7.

Quan, thought 5 tool player was a term used to describe a baseball player. Please explain what a 5 tool basketball player is.

I grew 4-5 inches as well in that period.  Isn't that big a jump but maybe 6'5-6'6 still more likely.
