Scouting Report
Creative handling the ball, and possesses rare court vision and passing skills. Boasts a small forward's frame yet is a natural point guard. Constantly slashing through the lane and manufacturing shots for himself and teammates. Flashes a nice, smooth perimeter shooting stroke. Has a nose for steals. Not particularly explosive and doesn't have great length (despite his height). Plays a bit upright at times, which presents ball security issues in the NBA. Lacks bulk, and may not be able to add much muscle to his thin frame without losing mobility.
Long Range Potential: Big, instinctive point forward with some starter tools.
