On-Ball Defense
++Strengths:++
Slippery ball handler who knows who to use head and ball fakes to trick opponents
Good paint scorer with a soft touch from any angle and off either foot
Can hang in the air, absorb contact or contests from lengthier defenders and still score with finesse
Posses elite levels of feel and go-to scoring potential
Selfless passer who makes quick decisions with the ball - loves to throw lobs, and hit the roller off of ball screens
Active off-ball with awareness to fill space out in transition, cut the basket, and fill space for open 3s
Smooth shooter off the catch who's able to launch from NBA range with a hand in his face
Super active on-ball defender who shows good footwork staying in front of opponents and fighting on through screens
James Harden's cousin
++Weaknesses:++
Lacks experience shooting 3s off screens and handoffs
How real is his jumper? He made only 25 percent of his 3s over his first two seasons at Gonzaga before exploding as a junior with Wake Forest. In high school, he made 35 percent of his 3s and 76 percent of his free throws.
Needs to get stronger to improve his defensive floor, he could get overpowered by some of the elite althetes in the league
The shooting jump unlocked everything for him this year. Even at Gonzaga, I saw a smart and quick enough defender to succeed at the next level. Fill out that frame, keep on setting the table, you'll live up the touted 5-star you were coming out of high school
Taken a step back this year with his 3 ball but excellent scoring 2 guard everywhere else. Shades of Ayo Dosunmu
Amazing all-around player. Does everything well. Has very good size and can play everywhere.

Pro Comparisons:
more analysis will be added soon
Strengths:
Good Pace, Getting Downhill (holds off defender and foul drawing)
Efficient 3 Point Shooter, Off the Dribble and Catch & Shoot
Around the Rim Finisher (Not really above due to size)
Good at getting to his Spots and Hitting Shots in Mid Court Weaknesses:

Lack of Non-Transition Playmaking Comp: Shades of Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, Bradley Beal, Markelle Fultz Estimation: Late Second Round Pick
Pros:
Got a dreamy 3, which does not need space almost at all
Can play some good D on smaller guys-off ball > on ball D
Getting better at playmaking

Low key taking a slight step back from last year
Notes: Honestly should've transferred or declared.
