Scouting Report
A rare true point-forward: blessed with the instincts, court vision, anticipation, and skills of an elite point guard, with the size of a big pro forward. Has a knack for creating high-percentage shots for himself and teammates. Superbly active and smart, and can stuff the stat sheet with points, rebounds, assists, and steals. Lives in the key at both ends of the floor but doesn't have a wide frame or great bulk for an under-the-basket player. Not yet a 'stretch four' type (as he rarely shoots from the 3-point arc). While he draws constant fouls he's not an adequate free throw shooter. Must show the durability to thrive in the NBA.
Long Range Potential: True point-forward with superstar talent.
