Big Board Rankings

Strengths

• "Knockdown shooter who thrives running off screens and using manipulative moves to shake loose from defenders. Despite unorthodox mechanics

• he shot 43 percent from 3 and 80 percent from the line in four years at TCU."

• "Comfortable shooting off the dribble. He won’t be an iso threat in the pros

• but can attack a mismatch or pull-up to punish a scrambling defense."

• "Excels at pick-and-roll decision-making

• playing with pace and delivering accurate passes all over the court."

• "Solid finisher who can use either hand around the rim. He has touch

• which is vital since he lacks hops."

• "Decisive player who reads the floor at a high level. He cuts and relocates well and facilitates effectively and intentionally."

• "Excellent defensive fundamentals: He sits in his stance and rapidly reacts to cut off drives. With a strong frame and quick hands

• he has versatility."

• "Veteran

• experienced wing who thrived in college in every possible situation from a role player to a No. 1 option"

• "Elite caliber shooter who averaged 44.2% from 3 on 208 3-point attempts last season with TCU"

• "Over-stretched as a playmaker at TCU

• but his decision-making as a creator and facilitator should translate to positive playmaking on the wing in the NBA (finished second among Big 12 players last season during conference play in total assist rate

• per KenPom)"

Areas to Improve

• "He needs to tighten his handle to create space against athletic defenders. Though he improved in that area at TCU

• he still has room to grow."

• "Lack of burst or a quick first step

• plus his short arms

• could limit both his at-rim finishing ability and his defensive impact."

• "Defensive versatility is questionable on paper because of his physical and athletic profile."

• "Good overall positional size but negative wingspan and limited athleticism could sap his upside to be a truly positionless defender

• despite 6-foot-6 frame"

• "Doesn''t have the space-creating or dribbling ability to project as a No. 1 option; likely to be a 3-point specialist in the NBA who serves in 3-and-D role with limited star potential"
