Scouting Report
Can be near-unstoppable offensively, and is a regular triple-double threat. Has a rare ability to dominate both from the arc and driving the lane. Uses supreme instincts, fakes, footwork, physicality, and a great Euro-step to get his shot off and convert. Also an elite passer / distributor, and a strong rebounder for a guard. Disappears for stretches defensively. Hugely turnover-prone (to an historic degree) and will play out of control at times. Still streaky for stretches, especially in terms of getting to the charity stripe. Still needs to consistently show he can raise his game in pressure situations (especially in the postseason).
Long Range Potential: Elite offensive combo guard and perennial MVP candidate.
