Scouting Report
Has great size for a point guard and tremendous creativity with the basketball. Can be an assists machine, but he also has the ability to be a go-to scoring option at the NBA level. His outside shoot can be a tad streaky. Also, he could stand to bulk up a bit in order to maximize output and work through the rigors of the NBA. There will always be a lot of hype surrounding him, and the spotlight will always be on him, so he needs to be able to handle it over time.
Long Range Potential: Talented, creative point guard with big upside.
