Scouting Report
Plays the game with reckless abandon and passion: hustles hard and constantly. A superb leaper and dunker, making him a terror in transtion (especially at his size). Skilled and big enough to play several different positions well. Hits the trey and can finish well with either hand. Works hard on and off the court. Clutch too. Unproven against NBA competition. Doesn't always dominate on the stat sheet despite his fantastic physical tools, and could especially be more of a passer. Somewhat a late bloomer and can be more of a take-charge star.
Long Range Potential: Athletic, gritty, high-energy combo forward.
