James can handle the ball very well and is able to play both guard positions... he played the point earlier in his career and handled the ball a lot at UCSB... played primarily the SG position at UCSB because he was such great shooter for them... very strong 1 vs 1 defender, uses his strength and ability to pressure to his advantage...
