Scouting Report
One of basketball's best mid-range shooters... His free throw shooting must improve... Does a good job of passing when doubled, seeing teammates on the wing... He has a killer crossover that he uses to get by his man on the perimeter and is athletic, getting good lift on his jumper... His ability to lock in and defend is special as well .... Has very quick hands, and reads the passing lanes, and can rip someone from the dibble ...... Needs to improve upon his shot selection, can get too assertive at times, shooting the ball with a defender on him
