He seems like he has a lot to learn about spacing, pick and rolls, where his teammates like the ball, and the feel for the game.
The kid has tremendous basketball instincts though, which pay off well when you're on the floor with guys like Dirk, Kidd and Marion and can kinda wander around. I think with some more awareness and familiarity with the NBA game, he's going to be a HELL of a point guard eventually.

This, basically. You don't want the kid to turn the ball over a lot, it's not good for the team (obviously) and it's not good for him either. With that said, from the small sample size, it really looks like he'll be able to run a team in the not too far future, i mean, he has much better hands than Devin for example, and i bet he's a better passer than DH was at that age.
