I played against him two summers back, the kids got moves he is quick has a good cross over, can throw it down and is great shot maker not bad for 6 ft. But he could not hold me (Who can?) i think he needs work on his defence he is not as strong as his cousin Stephon Marbury.

Brooklyn basketball sensation Sebastian Telfair declared his eligibility for the NBA draft on Tuesday, ending months of speculation about his future.
The 18-year-old point guard, a projected first-round pick, had committed to Louisville, but signed with an agent and picked up a six-year endorsement deal with Adidas. Telfair said it was worth more than $15 million.
"I'm on cloud-40 right now," Telfair said. "My dreams have come true and all my goals have come true."
At 6-feet, he would become the shortest high school player ever selected in the draft, a challenge Telfair is prepared for.
"I've been dealing with my size all my life," Telfair said. "It hasn't stopped me yet and it's not going to stop me now."
Telfair moved up the projected draft board considerably after a spectacular senior season at Lincoln High School, earning a McDonald's All-American appearance and a Sports Illustrated cover story.
He outplayed possible No. 1 draft pick Dwight Howard in a February game against Southwest Christian Academy, scoring 30 points and hitting a game-winning 3-pointer as time expired.
