Scouting Report
A gifted ball-handler and passer with superb playmaking instincts. Runs the offense calmly and highly efficiently as a lead guard, either from the point or the 2-spot: makes the flashy pass look routine and takes care of the basketball. Can hit the open three and is almost automatic on free throws. Makes an effort defensively. Quicker than he is fast and isn't ideally-sized for either backcourt position. Can get posted up by bigger, faster guards. His lack of size hurts him defensively as a rebounder and in the steals department. Somewhat injury-prone.
Long Range Potential: Quality veteran playmaking backup point guard.
