Big Board Rankings

Strengths

• "Nifty ball handler with high-level footwork who changes speeds and pace to generate space."

• "Crafty finisher around the basket who can hit layups and floaters from awkward angles; his touch is just as soft with his left hand as with his right."

• "Intuitive passer who uses his eyes to manipulate defenders

• creating passing lanes to cutters or spot-up shooters. The flashy plays he makes—like no-look or over-the-head passes—are made with intention."

• "Great feel all around: He’s always moving

• makes smart decisions

• adjusts when he needs to

• and plays hard on defense."

• "Hard-nosed on-ball defender who has quickness laterally

• stays in his stance

• and fights over screens; few players his age are so advanced on defense."

• "Physical defender against larger players on a switch; if he gets posted up

• a coach might even feel comfortable enough to not send a double-team."

• "Aware off-ball defender who disrupts passing lanes

• rotates

• and recovers well."

• "Attacks the paint"

• "Breaks opponents down off dribble"

• "Finishes with either hand"

Areas to Improve

• "Makes too many inaccurate passes

• which is partially a by-product of the ambitious passes he attempts."

• "Subpar shooter who hit only 27 percent of his 3s last year; he has a rigid form that needs to be tweaked

• but his soft touch around the rim and from the line (81 percent) are both encouraging long-term indicators."

• "Lack of size limits his defensive versatility; try as he might

• teams with bigger scorers may exploit him."

• "3-point percentage is low"

• "Lacks defensive versatility"

• "Assist-to-turnover ratio needs work"
