is a legitimate two way impact guard who makes his presence felt on both ends of the floor as a timely and reliable scorer and as a tough and relentless on ball defender. Offensively, Cano thrives at putting the ball in the back in a variety of ways— consistently knocking down open C+S threes and fluid pull up jumpers while also attacking closeouts effectively, getting into the paint where he often displays touch on floaters and the physicality to finish through contact, often drawing fouls and earning a handful of trips to the FT line. Defensively, Cano competes at such a high level— staying in front of drives off the bounce, challenging shot attempts, rebounding well for his position, and showing excellent instincts and anticipation as an on ball defender and in the passing lanes.
Cano’s flown slightly under the radar however going back to his freshman year has always put up big numbers and been insanely productive. Maintaining that level of consistency could definitely bode the attention of high academic coaches at the next level.
