Scouting Report
An energetic, high-motor playmaker who loves to push the ball and create for himself and teammates. He's constantly looking to drive on offense, showing fearless instincts and excellent leaping and finishing abilities. He's just as intense and productive on defense, bodying opponents early in the play and constantly threatening for steals and disruptive stops. Forcing things at both ends of the floor is an issue; he too often goes for the super-aggressive play rather than taking what opponents give him, leading to unnecessary turnovers and fouls. He additionally isn't quite a pass-first point guard nor a pure shooter, and doesn't have ideal size or length for the NBA wing.
Long Range Potential: Hard-driving, raw two-way combo guard with starter potential.
