Caldwell was one of the 5 best point guards in the camp this weekend in my opinion. He gets the ball moving as a PG while also being very quick in transition. He hits the gaps and has good vision as a point guard. His ability to get his own shot made him an impactful presence for his team all weekend.

Caldwell is a FAST point guard with arguably the best end-to-end speed of anyone in the gym at the point position. He will push the tempo of the game and is a dynamic distributor capable of making the game easier for everyone in the process.

Caldwell is a speedy point guard with good size/strength to him at the position. His speciality in this eval was his ability to distribute the basketball with a team full of mid to high prospects alongside of him.

Caldwell did a good job of hounding opposing ball handlers as an on ball defender. On the offensive end, while he did a good job of handling, he did have trouble creating space for offense.
