Acey makes acrobatic catches look routine. What is more impressive about the way he catches the ball is way he leaves defenders in the dust en route to making those acrobatic catches. These catches are acrobatic because many times the ball is inaccurate, where Acey has to adjust to the ball while it is in-flight. Acey has developing vision as evidenced by how he is starting to set up his blocks when receiving rocket/bubble screens. He ain’t no quitter either. He is willing to run crossing routes all the way across the field at full speed and has shown the willingness to bowl over, bullying defenders when he chooses to. My advice to Acey this year would to work on crisp route running. If he does, my word. Defenses should be put on notice.

The Orange Tornados barely missed a playoff spot after a few early season hiccups. I do not expect such hiccups to present themselves this year for this team on the rise.
