Scouting Report
Will spread the floor forcing a big man to guard him on the perimeter... His size allows him to see over defenders and make passes that the average 6-2 PG could not... Has a killer crossover dribble... A real ball hawk... He knows how to take what the defense gives him, knows when to pull up, when to drive and when to pass
