“An extremely skilled point guard who is very poised on the floor. Colvin is a great lead guard that can score and distribute the ball. He handles it well, is a good passer, and is also good defensively. As he continues to add confidence in his outside shot, he will begin to see his stock rise even higher.”
MidStateHoops.com Analysis

“Chris Colvin is a quick and explosive combo guard. He has one of the best first steps in the 2009 class in Illinois. He can create his own shot and can also get in the lane and create for others. His mentality right now is to score first and to pass second. He is a tough kid who will defend as well. He is a good pull-up shooter, but is not great at finishing at the basket. He needs to work on his decision making, especially in the half-court. He has a tendency to dribble himself into trouble. Colvin is a very good prospect who has really just recently burst onto the scene. He is only going to get better.

Chris is a very athletic point guard. He is an excellent slasher. He can get in the lane very well and score or pass. Once Chris gets to the basket he can finish with a dunk. He has great size for a point guard. He is also a solid shooter to 17 feet. Chris is also a good on ball defender with his size and athleticism. Chris is a top 40 player nationally in the 2009 class.”
