Scouting Report
A very well-rounded swingman who can mostly do it all. Scores well, passes well, rebounds solidly, and is a defensive playmaker. Versatile and can play any of several positions. Tall, strong, muscular, and his wingspan is simply amazing for a pro point guard. Boasts good potential for rebounding due to his reach, and has big hands. He's not always a take-charge scorer, and he can do a better job of getting into the paint and drawing fouls. He does most things very well but doesn't really stand out in any particular area of the game yet.
Long Range Potential: Depth guard.
