Big Board Rankings

Strengths

• "Excellent size for a point guard at 6-foot-5. Has a good frame and a long wingspan

• which will allow him to defend point guards

• shooting guards and potentially even small forwards."

• "Plays with a controlled pace in the pick-and-roll. He loves to use hesitations to compensate for his lack of athleticism. He’s a dual threat

• dangerous as both a passer and shooter off the dribble."

• "Shoots well off the catch and off the dribble. He’s not dynamic

• but has nice form and can score when called upon."

• "Crafty finisher who is comfortable scoring off the wrong foot or with his off-hand. He has a nice touch on off-balance layups

• finger rolls

• and floaters."

• "Sturdy frame with long arms; he projects as a reliable man-to-man defender if his fundamentals improve."

• "He has made steady progress each season and possesses a high work ethic. He’s also mentored by Spurs legend Tony Parker."

• "Crafty scorer around the rim who plays with smarts

• and can manufacture shots for himself and for others"

• "Improving shooter

• especially from distance"

• "Versatile backcourt player

• with the skill set to play either guard spot"

Areas to Improve

• "Didn''t play a huge role for ASVEL as one of three point guards on the roster. Started some games

• but only averaged 17 MPG. Often operates alongside a lead guard in more of a spot-up role. Wasn''t too efficient this season

• posting a high turnover rate and average shooting percentages."

• "Struggles to create space despite his change of pace and use of in-out dribbles and crossovers. He gets enveloped by quality defenders who beat him to his spot

• and currently lacks the ability to counterattack."

• "Doesn’t put a lot of pressure on the rim as a ball handler

• which may limit his value as a playmaker if he’s not creating angles for kickout 3s. The flashes are there

• but he must master his handle."

• "Despite his size

• he hasn’t had success on switches against larger players

• offering little resistance."

• "He defends on his heels

• which slows down his lateral slides. And he bites on too many shot fakes."

• "Good speed dulled by lack of athleticism"

• "Struggles to create space off the dribble"

• "Average ball-handling ability; can easily get cornered by top defenders and needs to sharpen his handles with both hands"
