Scouting Report
Hard-nosed and athletic. Physical and feisty, a great leaper, and knows the value of drawing contact. Skilled as both a ball-handler and shooter, with a good handle for driving to the bucket when overplayed. Passes very well for a wing player. Has a sweet shooting stroke with good arc. Very foul-prone: doesn't have an elite wingspan and is still a bit raw fundamentally, making him a liability at times on the defensive end. Would benefit by developing more of a mid-range game on offense.
Long Range Potential: Skilled and athletic offensive wing with intriguing talent.
