Scouting Report
An elite leaper who can sky and finish impressively, which helps him shoot for a very high percentage from the field. Uses his skywalking ability well as a rebounder and shot-blocker too. High-energy, yet also plays pretty mistake-free ball. Can hit the open 3-pointer too. He's still a bit raw in terms of his guard skills (passing and shooting), and leans more on his great athleticism than on his skill set. A bit lacking in height when playing small forward, and his hands aren't big for an NBA swingman.
Long Range Potential: Athletic wing player.
