Scouting Report

Assets
  • Elite as a scorer. Possesses the size and length of a power forward and the explosiveness, quickness, and leaping ability of a small forward. A lefty with growing range on his jumper. Underrated as a defender and a solid rebounder.
Flaws
  • A bit foul prone. Could be more of a rebounder and defender. Not a great passer. Off-court troubles have been a big issue early in his career.
Career Potential
  • Star scoring forward (when focused).
