Scouting Report

Assets
  • Extremely fast and gets the ball upcourt in a hurry. Gets his jumper off quickly. A solid passer and takes pretty good care of the ball. On defense he poaches steals well.
Flaws
  • His impatient shot selection and perimeter focus conspire to produce very low field-goal percentages. Can be streaky. Has a history of getting into trouble (off-court, on-court, and with coaches).
Career Potential
  • Aging starting point guard.
  • Awards
