Scouting Report
He's very well-rounded and can line up at either guard position: he has excellent size and length for the pro backcourt, the passing ability of a point guard, and the scoring tools of a shooting guard. He keys transition impressively with copious steals, and he has nice one-on-one moves in the half court. A proneness to turnovers is an area he needs to address, and he would likely benefit from finding more of a niche (either becoming more of a pass-first point man or more of a take-charge scorer). He additionally can add more muscle to his frame for the pro game.
Long Range Potential: Super-solid combo guard with starter ability.
