Scouting Report
He's a talented scoring guard who gets points efficiently and consistently. Shoots very well from 3-point range, and is excellent on free throws too. Doesn't commit a lot of turnovers or fouls. Strong and muscular for a point guard. Isn't tall for a pro point guard, and he has the game of a shooting guard or even a shooting specialist. He needs to be more of a distributor to have a chance at significant NBA minutes. Also must up his defensive game, since he doesn't get a lot of steals. Doesn't have ideal reach for rebounding.
Long Range Potential: Shooting specialist / solid scoring combo guard.
