OFFENSE The 6’4” guard has a stocky 200-pound frame, and he uses his size well to work his way toward the basket. Starling is shooting just under 50% on two-pointers—an excellent mark for a freshman guard. He has a fluid handle and an excellent hesitation dribble which he uses to freeze opposing defenders and give himself space to attack. He isn’t the most explosive athlete, but he is a crafty finisher at the basket. NOT A GREAT SHOOTER AT THE MOMENT NEITHER FROM LINE NOR 3 PT LAND Starling is very effective as a pick-and-roll ball-handler, ESP going to the rim BIGGEST CONCERN PLAYMAKING despite running the pick-and-roll more than any other play type, Starling has dished out just 11 assists all year against 12 turnovers.
