Gifted as a scorer and an excellent playmaker with above-average court vision. Shows strong one-on-one moves and crossovers to break down defenders. Has the instincts to regularly run the NBA point (and is above-average in that role), yet also has small-forward size, length, and physicality. Must show he can be more durable and consistent in general. Still ironing out his perimeter shooting stroke. Despite excellent playmaking skills he needs to be a more efficient passer. Won't explode over opponents as a leaper. | |
Long Range Potential: | Star-level point wing (when healthy). |
