Cruz is a shifty, quick point guard who really impressed me on the offensive end. Though he didn’t dominate from the perimeter, he consistently used his low center of gravity and active off hand to breeze past his defender. When he gets into the paint, he makes really nice spray out passes to his teammates but also does a good job taking contact and finishing at the rim. The lefty has crafty footwork and feel in the paint and a knack for getting fouled at the rim. Some added strength and weight would be huge for Cruz, but the junior has some more time to build that.
