Highlights |
GSW position: SG
Highs: decent defense for his size, always communicating to n the floor, has an offensive game but is a passer first
Lows: needs more time to develope
Strengths:
Athletic
Terrific Defender
Solid Passer
Weaknesses:
Struggling Shooter
Poor Ball-Handle
Player Comparisons: Marcus Smart
STRENGTHS:
Has always been a very legit defender who stays in front of his man has good instincts; great physical traits to continue to be disruptive on that end
Makes the great and right basketball play most of the time; has incredible basketball IQ and passing ability that is not elite but good enough to help his team out
Has good enough shooting form for me to not completely ditch the potential of him being a good shooter
Is able to finish with both hands pretty well; mainly was displayed when he was in high school, but I think that is still a skill in his game
WEAKNESSES:
Shooting and lead playmaking is mainly hypothetical; showed more of that in his last season in high school and was not able to replicate any of that to the college level
Only shot 20% on catch and shoot three point attempts; did not shoot well off of the ball
Size will be an issue at 6'1" and will be targeted; he is stronger for a 6'1" guard but will still have issues with offensive systems targeting players like him
The cardiac arrest did not do him any favors; happened at an unfortunate time and had to play catch-up when he was cleared to play and led to play that I don't think would have happened if he had a training camp available
Best role upon entering the NBA: Long term development guard who will shooting refinement and lead offensive initiating reps
Player Comparison: Shades of Davion Mitchell and Miles McBride
Pros: Solid court awareness. Solid base when on ball D. Solid court presence.
Cons: Falls for fakes often, not an offensive threat. bites on hesi's.
Range: IDEK bc of Bron-Return to college. Age: Young Aura: 7/10
Notes: LBJ's son but not very similar, should return to salvage career.

Pro Comparison: Gary Harris
++Strengths:++
Tenacious on-ball defender with quick hands and feet
Off-ball he does a great job of anticipating passes for steals
Above an average rebounder for his position and pushes the pace in transition
He's a good leader in the pick-and-roll who makes the right read
Good distributer / passer
Has shown growth shooting the 3 off the catch
++Weaknesses:++
Biggest weakness is inconsistency
Not an assertive scorer and fails to create space from his defenders
Reliable ball handler but lacks creativity as a handler
Consistency off the catch as a 3-point shooter is one of his biggest what-ifs
