Scouting Report
Will pile up steals, key the break with good passes, and finish with exciting dunks. Displays strong defensive instincts. Brings all-round intensity and excellent athleticism. Can play solidly anywhere from point guard to small forward. Able to sky over much bigger opponents off the break. Shot selection and accuracy are major issues, and he's highly streaky as a scorer. While very good defensively one-on-one he's not much of a rebounder. Maturity has been questioned, and he hasn't improved significantly since his rookie season. Injury-prone as well.
Long Range Potential: Athletic defense-first wing with sixth man tools.
