Scouting Report
Smooth, quick, and slick as a playmaker with the ball in his hands. Confident as the primary ball-handler, and has a fairly well-rounded approach and skill-set with a lot of nice offensive moves. An explosive leaper who can really get off the floor. Despite his well-rounded skill-set he's inconsistent and raw in most aspects. Size is an issue too: he needs to add a lot of muscle mass to deal with NBA physicality. Additionally, his hands are small for the pro point guard spot.
Long Range Potential: Talented but raw offensive point guard, with some starter tools.
