Scouting Report
A fearless scorer with good instincts and a lot of nice moves. Has consistent and solid shooting range and brings nice inside-outside balance on offense. Can capably start anywhere from point guard to small forward, and doesn't turn the ball over much. A bit small for the NBA shooting guard position, and while a solid athlete he won't overwhelm pro opponents physically. Doesn't offer much as a distributor or rebounder, and spends too much time on the perimeter.
Long Range Potential: Streaky, versatile vet scoring swingman.
