A good scorer and distributor who takes charge of the offense. Can run any style of offense effectively, and is very sure-handed (rarely turning the ball over). Flashes good shooting range and can be a lead scorer when needed. Also a high-effort defender (despite his size limitations). Provides a spark. Small for an NBA point-man and gets posted up by bigger NBA guards. Suffers his share of injuries (in part due to his size). Despite good hustle he doesn't manage many steals. Needs better shot selection from the field. | |
Long Range Potential: | Above-average offensive point guard (with good 6th man tools). |
