Scouting Report
A do-it-all guard with immense athleticism. Brings elite bounce and explosive quickness, showing great ability to blow past his defender and finish with highlight-reel dunks. Also a top-tier defender and ball thief, thanks to good length and anticipation (and the tutelage of his Hall of Fame father). A lefty. Plays much bigger than his size. Somewhat undersized for the NBA backcourt, and doesn't make up for it with a consistent shooting stroke (from either the perimeter or the free throw line). While a good passer he can be more of a distributor, especially on the drive-and-dish. Plays a bit out of control at times.
Long Range Potential: Explosive defense-first combo guard, with some starter tools.
