Good connectieve piece on offense. Really not a lot to say, he will be a ok complementary piece who brings shooting. Limited in potential and a lot of red flags (defense, rim).

TBC

Your classic 3&D guy. Confident in his shot and works hard off-ball. Pretty well rounded for this archetype, though.

I've heard hype over his defense, but I haven't seen a lot (I might be missing something). He doesn't slack on that end, but he doesn't have the instant impact I was looking for.
