Scouting Report
A shut-down defender who also shows some untapped offensive potential. Flashes great agility, hands, and overall instincts at both ends of the floor. Quick and explosive and can defend several positions well. Uncommonly skilled, coordinated, and athletic for a player his size. Frustratingly inconsistency for stretches. Gets mistake-prone at times, either coughing up the ball or committing too many fouls. Needs to develop more go-to moves to fulfill his impressive potential on offense. Has butted heads with coaching in the past.
Long Range Potential: Streaky, defense-first combo forward.
