Franchise-changing offensive orchestrator with smooth scoring skills, versatile defense, and a winning mentality.
PLUSES
Dictates offensive tempo with the poise of a veteran point guard. Potentially dominant pick-and-roll shot-creator with great feel and footwork. Uses hesitations and deceptive moves to generate space.
Smart passer who already understands how to manipulate defense with his dribble, gaze, or patience. He can make every pass in the book—whether it’s one-handed cross-court feeds, wraparounds to a rim runner, or slick passes off the dribble.
Strong at-rim finisher who can use either hand to finish with touch or power; can hit challenging extension layups, and isn’t fazed by contact.
Good shooter who’s made immense progress draining shots off the dribble and off screens.
Skilled post scorer whose size and strength make him a mismatch nightmare for smaller players.
Comfortable playing off-ball—cutting, relocating, crashing the boards, and even screening.
All-Defensive team upside. Blends elite measurables and winning mindset with defensive intelligence. Snuffs out opponent plays, stays active in the passing lanes, and hustles.
Versatile man-to-man defender.
Team leader.
MINUSES
Expanding his database of dribble moves and tightening his handle would make up for his lack of elite explosiveness and quickness off the dribble.
Occasionally tries to force passes through closed windows, leading to turnovers.
Must improve lateral quickness to maximize his ability to lock down smaller, quicker guards—beyond just holding his own.
