Scouting Report

Assets
  • A phenomenal natural athlete, he is also a highly coordinated and skilled player. A pure scorer who can dominate going to the hoop or hitting from beyond the arc. His passing is underrated and he flashes a knack for steals.
Flaws
  • Can carry a team for one game and disappear the next. His defensive effort has been challenged by his coaches. Sometimes goes for the flashy play instead of the efficient one. Not a great free-throw shooter. Has had off-court issues.
Career Potential
  • Swingman with star-level tools.
