Scouting Report
'Gigi' can score effectively either filling the lane or launching from the 3-point arc. An excellent shooter with a quick, smooth stroke. Almost automatic from the charity stripe. Uses his great reach and nimble quickness to shoot over opponents, finish strongly, and play solid defense. Hustles. Enjoyed stellar success in Europe. Lacks ideal muscle mass for an NBA forward and isn't a powerful leaper, factors which limit him as a rebounder. While athletic and agile he can get a little high in his dribble, which can lead to turnovers. Not quite the passer he could be.
Long Range Potential: Long, skilled depth scoring small forward.
