Positives
-A pretty good athlete, most intriguing is his explosiveness, especially combined with his strength and a solid vertical leap, really good at changing pace, great first step
-An elite on-ball defender, very laterally quick and strong, takes contact right to the chest, forced a ton of turnovers and took frustrating on-ball charges, really pressures the ball, good help-defense, some very high IQ plays in the passing lanes and while taking charges
-Intriguing upside as a shot creator, shifty with the ball, explosive crossovers, between the legs moves and hesitation dribbles. shot really well on off the dribble jumpers all over the floor
-Gets to the rim well and explosive enough to finish, very crafty with reverses, off-foot layups etc. Didn''t use the floater much but showed nice flashes
-A much improved 3 point shooter after the first few years which were a struggle, hit a lot off the dribble and off the catch (relocated well to open spots), very mechanically sound, always facing the rim
-Solid playmaking potential, another much improved part of his game, can make the right read in the PnR and off drives often enough, could be a good secondary creator if things click
Negatives
-Questions about his shooting are still very real, a sudden spike in 3 point shooting while his FT% is still pretty below average
-Should tighten up his handle a bit
-Had some struggles on drives at times, could get a bit out of control and made finishes more complicated, needs to control his pace better, a bit too left hand dominant and had some problems over length, his free throw rate is pretty low and this will be crucial for his shot creating potential, especially if he isn''t the sharpshooter he looked like at Baylor last season
-Has some decision making limitations and it''s very unlikely he''s a primary ball handler/creator, PnR polish isn''t quite there
-Will be 23 by next season, even though his ceiling is higher than it is given credit for, some polish or lack-there-of will be hard to work on at this point
-At 6''2, there are still questions about how effective he''ll be on bigger players when switched onto them, despite showing good potential here, short players are always at a disadvantage
Likely range: 7-20
