Scouting Report

Assets
  • One of the NBA's premier athletes & scorers: can beat most players one-on-one and jump over anyone. Has developed a nice perimeter game. Is a solid passer. Brings a lot on the defensive end and as a rebounder. A go-to scorer.
Flaws
  • Somewhat injury-prone. While he's improved as a shooter (from the arc and the free-throw line) he can be streaky. Somewhat turnover-prone and inconsistent.
Career Potential
  • Star swingman.
