Scouting Report

Assets
  • Few players in the NBA are as quick; can beat almost anyone with his first step. His great wingspan helps him shoot over defenders and poach for steals. A fundamentally-sound shooter with excellent range.
Flaws
  • Could be a much better rebounder than he is. Not a big passer for a guy with a point guard's size.
Career Potential
  • Elite sixth man or above-average starting guard.
