Scouting Report

Assets
  • Great breakaway speed. Has fine burst through the hole. Will wait for blocks to set up on the perimeter. Good hands.
Flaws
  • Runs into some blocks. Doesn't always see cutback lanes. Is too easy to stuff at the line if the hole isn't there. Has been overused in the last two seasons.
Career Potential
  • Adequate starter.
