Scouting Report
Smooth and instinctive running the offense. Glides up and down the court, anticipating the action well and creating scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. A good outside shooter with a knack for getting open, then has a quick release. Also boasts an excellent wingspan for his size, helping him defensively. While quick and agile he's not the type to blow past defenders or finish above the rim. Can be more efficient in general, as he gets turnover-prone as a distributor and is streaky from the field as a shooter. Doesn't yet get the most defensively from his excellent length.
Long Range Potential: Smart playmaking combo guard with starter potential.
