Scouting Report
Electric defensively: a constant threat for steals and a strong man-to-man stopper. Pass-first as a playmaker. Long and well-sized at point guard but plays even bigger thanks to great hands and hustle. Draws a lot of fouls. Excels as a rebounder and lane-filler, with good leaping ability. Struggles offensively for stretches due to issues with fundamentals and decision-making. Gets turnover-prone and has a tough time hitting both jumpers and free throws. Must keep improving his offensive skill-set, and would benefit greatly by bulking up his frame for the NBA.
Long Range Potential: Defensive point guard.
