Texas A&M

Law comes to TMBSL after a career in which he showed significant development and helped elevate the Texas A&M basketball program from the absolute cellar as a freshman to a team that secured a #3 seed and was the #9 team in the nation during the final AP poll. Scouts expect Law to elevate those around him at the next level as he is starting to become more of a floor general than anything else. While he was known as a combo guard earlier in his career, Law has developed into a player who will pass up a decent look for the sake of a better one. He looks to be the best pure PG of the class and one that works the offense in the half court deliberately, only penetrating when he senses it will lead to the opportunity to create a shot for a teammate. He is an adept handler of the ball and will help keep your turnover rate down as a team as he doesn't force the issue and makes the smart play. He has a functional jump shot and has shown the ability to be efficient from the three point line as a senior, but scouts are still skeptical how that will translate in larger sample sizes.

Defensively, he has the tools with excellent size and wingspan for the position to turn into a plus option here, but show far he has not been as engaged defensively as he has on offense in college. He also hasn't shown much of a desire to impact the game as a rebounder either. Law is also a bit lanky and could stand to add some strength as a professional. As a four year player who has already shown a lot of development in his game over his college career in a class of several one and done options, there's more limited upside potential with Law.

Loved watching this guy carry that Texas A&M team.

Hated watching him carry that Atlanta Hawks team.

Acie Law IV
Age: 22
Height: 6’3’’
Weight: 202
Position: PG

Inside = D+: He is not an outstanding athlete, but has always been extremely quick and smooth in the open floor with a dynamite first step. He gets into the lane whenever he pleases, but showed a propensity to miss layups in key situations against Memphis in the NCAA tournament. Cannot be counted on for clutch shots.

Outside = C-: He has great elevation on his jump shot, and hits the 3 ball at a pretty good clip, especially in rhythm or off the dribble, but not so much on the catch and shoot. His stroke is very mechanical and he needs to work on his consistency.

Handling = B-: He handles balls very well, which is obvious, considering he is an Aggie.

Defense = D: Law is an awful defender. Charles Richardson routinely made him his bitch during Big 12 play.

Rebounding = D-: No. Just no.

Potential = C: Law was the recipient of god awful coaching since he went to Texas A&M, which makes one think he might have the potential to improve. That is wishful thinking at best though, and Law will go on to flame out in the NBA like every other Aggie.
