Scouting Report

Assets
  • A tough-as-nails man-to-man defender. Always around the ball and does well in transition. Provides a solid offensive spot-up game, especially as an outside shooter. Takes care of the ball. A leader.
Flaws
  • Not much of a passer and doesn't do a lot offensively to create his own shot. Sometimes his intensity boils over, leading to streakiness and unnecessary fouls.
Career Potential
  • Defense-first starting 2-guard.
