Strengths
- Excellent size for a guard prospect with a solid 6-9 wingspan. Strong legs. Greatly improved frame. Solid straight-line athlete who can play above the rim in space. Uses his size to score over smaller guards in the post.
- Improved on-ball creator. Playing a lot of point guard as a sophomore. Capable ball-handler who can navigate pick-and-rolls and make basic reads.
- Plus defender who can check up to three positions at the NBA level. Sound technique. Great feet. Competitive rebounder. High-intangible prospect who has been extremely productive as a 19-year-old. High floor in the Josh Hart mold.
Improvement areas
- Jump shot is slow and mechanical. Decent percentages but confidence comes and goes. Hasn't shown NBA range. Turns down pull-ups when teams go under. Overhauled mechanics this past summer. Career 66.3 percent free throw shooter.
- Not overly shifty with the ball. Decision-making also still improving. Will force his way into the paint without much of a plan. Comes to a lot of jump stops in traffic. Relies on power.
- Can add more finesse finishes in the paint. Viewed as more of a role starter than a high-upside prospect long-term.
