Jaelin Llewellyn was one of 25 college guards invited to Chris Paul's Elite Guard Camp in Winston-Salem. Others invited included Bryce Aiken of Harvard, Myles Powell of Seton Hall, A.J. Lawson of South Carolina, Tyrese Maxey of Kentucky, and Andrew Nembhard of Florida.
Based on some tweets from reporters, it looks like Llewellyn was very impressive. Injuries probably had a major effect on his freshmen results.

It will be interesting to watch Jaelin's development this upcoming year. Assuming good health, Jaelin and Arirguzoh will get a lot of minutes with Schwieger probably being on the floor with extensive minutes.
The Tigers need to get two good 3 pt shooters on the floor with Jaelin so that he has the opportunity to drive and pass plus Jaelin obviously needs to improve finishing at the hoop. Hopefully, Mitch can get Jaelin and Richmond working together on pick and roll.
He obviously has considerable gifts.

Lots of upside there. If he can improve from outside, make better decisions about when to pass after penetrating, and finish better he will be deadly, because he can really penetrate off the dribble and has good passing ability. Would love to see him develop a good floater and also work with teammates on lobs as well as conventional backdoors off the dribble, both of which would work off of ball screens when tall help defenders rotate over to challenge him.

Based on defensive skill level and necessity, Jalen and possibly Johns will be guarding Bryce this year. Hopefully, he gets the opportunity at this camp -- challenging assignment to put it mildly.
