Beto Velasquez

WHAT COACHES SAY: "He's a really talented player. He's definitely got some individual ability to beat guys on the dribble and to create in the attack. Does he have the two-way ability? Not sure. ... I like him. Of their seniors he was the guy who stood out ... Good size, good speed, ability to get behind. And he's got combination play ability ... I'm a big fan of his. For sure with that team he wasn't required to defend a lot. Not sure about his mentality ... Not the 'put-in-hard-work' kind of forward ... But a very good, talented player ... He has the tools on attacking side and can play."
