Scouting Report
Effortless release on his shot ... Has a very good perimeter game, knocks down the mid range to outside jumper with moderate consistency... Solid free throw shooter... Solid assist to turnover ratio, protects the ball well and makes good decisions ... He uses good positioning to grab a nice share of rebounds... Excellent defender, can defend guys with more weight... Has a solid half court and full court game ...... Lacks the ability to improvise much in the open floor: catching and dribbling/passing before a shot, he's a lot more comfortable with set plays or crashing the glass
