Scouting Report

Assets
  • One of the NBA's premier athletes. Can beat most players one-on-one and jump over anyone. Has developed a nice perimeter game. Is a willing passer. Brings a lot on the defensive end and is an above-average rebounder for a swingman. A go-to scorer.
Flaws
  • Is mildly injury-prone. While he has improved as a shooter (from the arc and the free-throw line) he can be streaky. Can be turnover-prone, and his defense can be erratic.
Career Potential
  • Near-elite all-round swingman.
