Playmaking/Vision

If I had a nickel for every skip pass that Romeo Langford failed to see off of the pick and roll, I would be a rich man.

He, quite frankly, drove me mad watching games with his inability to see open shooters and/or cutters, especially when operating off of a Juwan Morgan pick.

Though there were flashes at times of his ability to find open shooters on the perimeter or on the block, Langford inconsistency is something that is somewhat alarming.

Because he is someone who needs the ball in his hands to be successful, this is something that needs to be worked on in order to be an effective pick and roll ball handler, something the NBA stresses on the offensive end.

There is room for improvement here, but unfortunately, great playmakers are not created from nothing– their passing vision is obvious from a young age. Romeo will likely never be a guy who averages anything over three assists per game in the NBA, and his tunnel vision is something that may hinder him at the next level.
