Coach Thomason on Neufville: "Lavar has the right temperament of being a team player. He is a pass first, score second type of player. He can get to the basket, his shot from 15-17 feet is good and his three-point shot is getting better and better. He just has to learn how to take care of the ball and handle pressure, learn about offense and learn about our players. He is really a quality person that gets along with people and I think he is going to be a great role model for the point guard position."
