Scouting Report

Assets
  • Brings a nice inside-outside game with good versatility. Can hit the open 3-ball and also isn't afraid to take the biscuit to the basket. A good athlete and underrated talent.
Flaws
  • Isn't much of a passer. Can sometimes get too fixated on the three, which hurts his effectiveness with the shot; hanging on the perimeter too much also affects his rebounding.
Career Potential
  • Above-average combo forward with starter tools.
