Scouting Report
Brings the rare elite explosiveness NBA teams covet in a point guard. Scores, distributes, leaps, and dunks like a star. Plays the game at a very high speed, and makes defenders look frozen at times. Supremely instinctive and sees plays unfolding, and is a very nifty ball-handler with great playmaking moves. Also has a nose for steals. He would beneift by reining his game in a bit; he too often leans on the gas pedal from the get-go, sometimes resulting in him getting out of control, forcing things, and committing too many turnovers. While an excellent steals guy he's limited defensively (and as a rebounder) by less-than-ideal size and length.
Long Range Potential: Explosive playmaking point guard with stellar potential.
