Yeah his quickness, or lack thereof, is what concerns me. He can see the floor and distribute the ball very well. Considering who his father is you would think his basketball IQ is already off the charts for a kid his age.
This is just my opinion, but there are ways the Hawks could allow him to be the PG on the offensive side and then slide over to guard a different position on defense in order to make up for lacking the quickness required to guard most B10 level PG's. His size alone would give a lot of PGs fits when trying to defend him. It's the defensive side of things that worries me more than anything else. Maybe you let him run point, and then let a guy like CW defend the opposing team's PG on the other end of the floor.
Basketball, like most sports, is all about match-ups. There's more than one way to skin a cat. I understand that having a quick slashing PG who can drive and dish is ideal, but it's far from a necessity. Fran wasn't able to land that kind of recruit at the PG position so its up to him to figure out a way to game plan around that. I think he's more than capable of coming up with a plan that will win games.
