Cantu operated as a true pass-first floor general with outstanding composure and poise. Cantu kept his dribble compact and low, probing patiently until a seam opened up to deliver precision passes. His ability to manipulate defenders with subtle head turns, ball fakes, and pace shifts made him a consistent creator in the half court. He played with an unselfish nature, always prioritizing the right play, whether threading an interior dime or finding shooters spacing the floor.
