Rob Miech's Take: "Chopper" has no middle gears. The walk-on and former Kevin Kruger teammate at Arizona State can look like Rebel in a china shop at times, but he's all about the team and never settles for giving less than everything he's got. Has a streaky 3-pointer and is a sticky defender.
Miech's Question: Will the mustache and goatee make it to the new year?
