An elite, 6'9" wing with star potential due to his fluid athleticism, scoring versatility, and playmaking flashes. He is a dynamic three-level scorer who plays with confidence and already possesses advanced footwork for his age. To reach his ceiling, he needs to improve his outside shooting consistency and maintain a more selective shot diet.

General Notes:

• Bend + Length is insane and makes for some jaw dropping plays

• Awesome driver and handle creation

• Shot form is really good

• Just an elite bag and offensive skillet but the playmaking reads need to improve with how many advantages he creates for others

• Defensively it's more a focus and motor issue. Just focus on staying attached and maintaining position because the talent is there to be a plus defender.

Pros:

• insane burst and coordination at 6’9”, 210

• good defender when he wants to be; great fast-break/recovery defender

• initiates contact and wins physical battle vs most + great body control

• super quick off the catch + great core strength; unusual in filled out 6’9”+ players

• 3-level scorer who can hit insanely tough shots from anywhere

Cons:

• questionable shot selection; takes a lot of poor quality middies when he could get to the rim

• slow decision maker when trapped/doubled; lacks offensive fluidity and tends to be a ball-stopper

• doesn’t drive left terribly often and lacks many counters to the right hand drive

• questionable consistency as a free throw shooter

• sometimes loses focus on defense

Blueprint will be lead scorer, but the outside shot needs to improve. So far not an elite FT guy, so there is concern on the shot. Very skillful and can beat guys, but will need to contribute more across the board to be a lead guy. AST/TO isn’t amazing and doesn’t force STOCKS. Maybe stuck as a tweener, who can’t be the lead - Barrett/Wiggins vibe. Very active mover, cuts, screens makes space on O and gets in lanes on D. Very explosive vertical, especially off 2 feet.
