Scouting Report
One of basketball's best mid-range shooters... His free throw shooting must improve... Indecisive passer at times, but employs proper technique... His ability to lock in and defend is special as well .

As a shooter, he doesn’t elevate all that well on his jumper and is content with being a flat footed set shooter... He has problems defending stronger guys and playing post up on offense, has to improve his timing on rebounds and his patience on defense.
