Position: Wing

Comparison:

Calling Card: Point of Attack defense, motor, shot creating

Strengths: Burgeoning wing with truly elite athleticism to go along with skill. Spatial awareness, instincts, and reaction time defensively makes him a special defender with long term upside on that end. Craft finisher in the paint. Can handle the ball naturally and get to his spot. Motor is relentless. Plays with a constant edge. Wants to put fear in the opponent.

Areas to improve: A fairly skilled passer but is still developing in actually reading and seeing the floor. Tends to play fast at all times. If he learns to slow things down it will make him an even more dangerous player. Can get too zealous at times defensively. Jumper is not a strength but it isn’t broken by any means.

Athleticism: 9
