Scouting Report

Assets
  • Extremely fast, he can get the ball up the court in a hurry and gets his jumper off just as quickly. A solid passer, he looks for his teammates and takes pretty good care of the ball. On defense he poaches for steals well and makes an effort.
Flaws
  • His impatience with shot selection and too much focus on the three-pointer have conspire to produce very low shooting percentages from the field. He can also be streaky. Off-court issues have been troubling.
Career Potential
  • Above-average starting point guard.
