Eklund did exactly what we thought that he would do. Controlled the action and played an elite game from the neck up. That high IQ game turned into a game high 27 points. Eklund both scored and distributed, which led to 5 assists in the game. Want more? Eklund also gabbed 7 boards.

Let’s be real again – Eklund is a generational type talent that has been key in a ton of wins over the last 4 years. He has elite basketball skills, but it’s his experience and basketball IQ might be the true difference maker here. Eklund knows how to make plays at both ends of the floor and we’ve seen him do it repeatedly in big games.

Eklund is what a point guard was meant to be. He’s a true student of the game that understands pace and flow. Eklund is a terrific passer that doesn’t have to be flashy. Instead, he puts defenders where he wants them and delivers very high percentage passes.

Eklund is such an intelligent player – a coach on the floor as some may say. He play a high percentage game, from good looks at the rim to making the right pass at the right time. All the tools are there and his learning curve at the next level will be way smaller than most.

Eklund just gets it. He could probably have a points and assists double-double every game. He’s that talented. But watching him play this weekend, Eklund was simply unwilling to take a bad shot or force action for his own numbers. He was steady and efficient and willing to pass to teammates with a hot hand or a good look.

Eklund has simply been getting the job done this season, and well beyond that. He’s proven to be a high level passer on the move and a high IQ guard that feels the game. Eklund can score at a high level, having dropped his 1000th point this year, and can also pass teammates open when distributing.

Find a weakness in Edlund’s game, I dare you. First of all, he’s a true 3 level scorer that can shoot, find lanes to the rim, as well as play with finesse. But he can also run the point and initiate the offense at an elite level. Eklund can start the offense working off the bounce and with the pass.
