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. |
