He does kind of seem like a cross between the two to me. A bit quicker than Billups with a larger variety of shots than him (Similar to Wade in the way he can use the floater, glass, etc). He doesn't have the range or PG abilities of Chauncey yet, but his ability to score in the lane is already better than Chauncey.
I can't wait to see how this translates to the NBA. Flip should like him since he's a scorer, so I can't imagine him not playing a big role this year. Anything less than 16-18 minutes per game will be a disappointment IMO. He should see most of the backup PG and SG minutes.
