Name:

Type of PG Potential Traits: Good Scorer / Elite Heart / Great Facilitator / Turnover Prone
Number:
11
DOB:

Age when drafted: 20
High School: St. Joseph in Westchester, Illinois
College: Indiana University
Hometown: Chicago, IL
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 182 lbs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS:
When one thinks of Isiah, you think of raw grit and determination... a sort of wolf in sheepskin clothing if you will. Isiah can hop onto a team and within the next two years become their tried and true best player. His leadership characteristics are exactly what you would want in a point guard and his heart cannot be questioned. In his career, Zeke made clutch buckets when had to and even played on a bum ankle at times with immaculate results, including picking pockets on defense. His midrange jumper is solid and consistent and he loves to distribute the ball evenly to teammates. He is a showman and great if your trying to sell tickets and excite your fan base.
WEAKNESSES:
While, Isiah's heart can't be questioned, his mental attributes can sometimes. He is sensitive to criticism and takes too many risk sometimes. He is a consistent leader in turnovers and awfully inconsistent from the 3pt line. He doesn't provide any rebounding help and could be abused by an elite scoring bigger guard due to his lack of height.

Career Stats Highlights

OVERALL ABCA ANALYSIS
Isiah is a great piece to add to any team. He projects to be a starting PG for at least the next 10 years and will make at least a few all star games. He could use some camps and may struggle to score consistently a bit at first. As he develops though look for him to be a cornerstone on a championship team here in ABCA. I project him to go no lower than number 2 in this year's draft.
