Scouting Report
Highly smart and efficient with the ball, and does a great job of anticipating and finding his teammates with nice passes. Has good size for the NBA point but also excels at pushing the ball. Clutch and accurate with his outside shot. More quick than fast. Can do more as a rebounder considering his solid size, and needs more muscle mass for post-ups on the defensive end. Has yet to prove himself in the NBA.
Long Range Potential: All-round solid journeyman point guard.
