Scouting Report

Assets
  • A natural and near-elite scorer with a nice mid-range game. Explosive going to the hoop; gets by his man with ease and can jump over defenders. A solid man-to-man defender.
Flaws
  • Not a big rebounder or help defender; will register a foul rather than make a big stop, and is foul-prone. Not an accurate shooter from the arc.
Career Potential
  • Star scoring small forward.
