Dooling is a fantastic athlete at the point guard position.  At 6-3, he has the height to be an NBA PG, but his weight of about 185 doesn't cut it. He's too thin.  Still, he's got great quickness and speed, super leaping ability (he won the dunk contest at the NBPA camp out of HS), a nice handle and some herky-jerky, shifty moves off the dribble.  I think he can be reasonably compared to Baron Davis of UCLA, in that he is an explosive athlete who can handle the ball well enough to play point, and whose shooting went from nowhere in HS to decent at the college level.  Dooling's shooting is likely to be shaky in the NBA, just as Davis' is.

However, Dooling lacks the bulk and strength that Davis has.  He will struggle to finish plays on drives where he is bumped.  Dooling's playmaking is developing, but is still raw.  He won't make it as a shooter, and there are better pure playmakers available.  I don't think he's a lottery pick, but the potential to be a good NBA point guard is there.
