Scouting Report
Instinctive and fearless as a scorer. An impressive all-round shooter with a strong mid-range game: knows how to get open and gets the ball off quickly. Possesses excellent range is a very good 3-point marksman. Doesn't turn the ball over much. Hustles, works hard, and is high-character. A shooting guard in a point guard's body and doesn't make up for it with explosive athleticism or leaping ability. Could do much more as a passer, and isn't a defensive force (especially in one-on-one assignments).
Long Range Potential: Star scoring combo guard.
