Scouting Report

Assets
  • One of the greatest athletes to ever play the game. Incredibly explosive in the open court with elite leaping and finishing abilities. Passes like a point guard, and is a top-tier defender who shuts down both guards and forwards.
Flaws
  • Has yet to show a consistent post-up game or perimeter game, leading to struggles when teams force him into a half-court set-up. Seen by some as a 'me-first' player (despite his great assist totals). Sometimes struggles in big contests.
Career Potential
  • Superstar small forward & perennial MVP candidate.
