Saw Felix twice yesterday. Very interesting player. I will say up front that the 2 teams he played he blew out, so I want to see him against better competition.
Felix is definitely a wing-guard and I spoke to his coach who said St. John's will use him as a "2 or a 3". Not going to be used at the point.
His best attribute is definitely his body control. He's a phenomenal athlete who hangs in the air and is a great finisher because of his ability to hang in the air and his exceptional body control. Once he gets to within a step or his jumpstop from the basket, its a wrap. He's scoring. He also knocked down the bulk of the jump shots he attempted over the course of bulk games. His shot is definitely a work in progress as it has a small hitch in it at times. As for his defense, I want to see him in a higher-level competitive game before I judge that. Looks like he has the tools to be a good defender.
Now, does this mean that he's going to play much next year?? I don't know. Is he taking minutes from D'Angelo or Phil?? No. Is he better than Darrick Wood if he qualifies?? Haven't seen Darrick, but from what I've heard from people that have seen both players play, no. I think Felix will have a tough time seeing the floor much next year but if he's PATIENT (something that a lot of players aren't, as you can see from the 400+ D1 transfers this year), he can see the floor in future years.
He's better than I expected/heard about him. He's certainly not the "guard version of Dwight Meikle". He has D1 tools that can be developed into him being a contributor in future years.
