Scouting Report
Very well-rounded: can do pretty much everything on the court fairly well. Has range out to the 3-point line, is an enthusiastic and savvy passer, makes a good effort on 'D,' and is explosively athletic (showing the ability to fill the lane impressively and finish with huge dunks). Has extensive international experience. Must show more consistency game-to-game and can still get a bit turnover prone. Needs to find his niche in the NBA to get the most out his impressive skills, size, and athleticism.
Long Range Potential: Explosive, well-rounded swingman with consistency issues.
