    He was a vocal point of the team and easily the team leader. Love his intensity, and really flies around the court like a killer bee. Solid 2nd rd pick.

    As a passer, Canaan gets the majority of his assists off simple drive and kicks from pick and roll sets, although he's not particularly comfortable in these settings and doesn't have the greatest of court vision or awareness. On the season, Canaan is averaging only 4.3 assists per 40 minutes pace adjusted compared to 3.4 turnovers, giving him a -1.43 pure passer rating, one of the worst amongst point guards in our top-100 rankings. Besides vision, he very much has a shoot first mentality, something that may be needed on the Racers squad, but presents a question mark about how he may respond when asked to play a smaller role at the NBA level.

    On the defensive side of the ball, Canaan's physical profile presents some obvious hurdles to overcome. Beyond his lack of size, his lateral quickness appears to be just average, and his attention isn't always there, although this could largely be a byproduct of the amount of energy he has to expend on the other end of the court.

    I can't really vote on it because I know nothing about this guy. I hope it's a good pick.

    Chris Paul said this Guy Isaiah Cannan can ball and will turn a lot of heads when he comes into the NBA.

    Like the pick, but not getting too attached to him.

    Something tells me he has as much chance of being packaged as he does ever playing a minute for the Rockets.

    Kinda hope I'm wrong though, I like his shooting and his attitude.

    I should probably be banned for a month for such a mistake.
