Scouting Report
Has a very good perimeter game, knocks down the mid range to outside jumper with moderate consistency... Aggressive player who gets to the line often and converts his FTs at a good clip ... Unselfish player with good court vision... Plays very under control, makes great decisions with the ball... Has a tendency to push off on the offensive end... Excels at squaring up from 12 feet and taking bigger players off the dribble... Anticipates well and plays the passing lanes for steals... Unlike many players as athletic as he is, he doesn't rely on it he uses intelligence and skills instead
