Weber brings plenty of value in the mid-range, providing counters and off-balance shotmaking to the table. The guard boasts a consistent handle going either direction, helped by a quick first step while attacking downhill. Defenses are always at a disadvantage versus Weber, given his quick footwork getting to turnaround fadeaways or fakes going into additional moves. Equally capable of rising up into off-balance mid-range jumpers, there are few things the guard cannot do off the bounce. Continuing to add strength and maintain consistency on passing reads will be areas to note for the junior guard, bright future ahead. Weber returns with Palmer following 13.2 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game.
