Scouting Report

Assets
  • When he's healthy he more than lives up to his name. Brings elite jets and quickness to the court. Excels at pushing the ball, breaking down defenses, and driving the lane for easy dish-offs. Has a knack for steals, which helps his transition style.
Flaws
  • Durability has been a major issue thoughout his career. His diminutive stature makes him an easy target for being posted up. Has tried to incorporate an outside shot to his game, but it's unreliable.
Career Potential
  • Starter-level talent, but injuries and style suggest he's ideal as a top-end backup.
