Scouting Report
A natural scorer with explosive leaping ability. Brings a nice shooting stroke, with good range. Also a very good rebounder for a guard, and makes the effort on defense. His ball-handling and passing tools still need some work (as he can be turnover prone). A bit of a late bloomer who must work to find his NBA niche.
Long Range Potential: Energy swingman off the bench.
