Scouting Report
Can play either guard position well and simply does what his team needs to succeed: scores consistently from the outside or penetrating, passes willingly, and is a strong defender who piles up steals. Also long and an explosive leaper. Brings a nice mix of athleticism, skill, smarts, and grit to the backcourt. Still developing his point guard skills and gets turnover prone. Does a lot of things well but will need to find his niche as a pro. Possesses a slight frame and would benefit from adding bulk for the pro game.
Long Range Potential: Well-rounded, underrated swingman with starter tools.
