Past_Notes Good shooting game in the opener vs. West Michigan Lakers. Athleticism has improved slightly. Not the elite shooter that his brother is/was at his age. Decent ball handler that can get to the basket. The younger brother of James, Vijay finished the game against Hamilton Southeastern with 17 points. He forced a lot of shots though. Many of his misses were because a defender was able to block his shot. Vijay did look better than he did in the spring/summer. He should continue improve with the guidance of his brother and father. I'm not sure that he ends up improving to the high-major level though.
Overall_Notes Fully recovered from an ACL tear last spring.  He's a good outside shooter but not to the level of James at similar points in their careers. He has shown the ability to go off the dribble at times.
