Positives
-One of the shiftiest players in the draft, consistently creates space with his hip mobility and handle, stepbacks and stopping on a dime are elite, real late-clock option, kemba-lite potential here, one of the best shot creating prospects
-Potential to be a solid scorer in the paint, crafty and shows good touch, loves the scoop shot and uses angles well, has a great floater as a counter through traffic or off one or two feet (46% on floaters), scores well in the PnR, has good pace, sneaks it, takes re-screens, high potential here
-Showed playmaking upside in the PnR and when drawing help in the paint, would benefit bigly from having a good lob threat in the NBA, especially effective dumping off to bigs in the paint
-A great shooter, shot 40% from despite a majority of them coming off the dribble where he is also amazing, has an extremely deep range and you can not go under the screen at all against him, good spot-up potential, solid mechanics, 83% from the line, very projectable shooter in the league on and off the ball
Negatives
-Needs to be more consistent as a finisher at the rim (~53%), isn't the most explosive, had moments where he took shots harder than needed, weight is an issue but his touch and flashes suggest he should become a competent finisher
-Doesn't have a great first step, leading to some wide drives and fading runners, can't easily blow-by bigs on switches, more of a jumper-reliant player
-Needs to improve as a playmaker and decision maker, had some struggles in traffic where he got stuck in no man's land or turned it over into help, put himself into really tough situations leading to turnovers, had some troubles against traps, should work on his PnR reads, probably not qualified to be a lead guard in the NBA
-Will likely be a negative defender in the league, his weight, size and slightly negative wingspan limit his ceiling there, needs to be a bit more consistent with his footwork, not very physical, did have some solid moments of staying attached to his man and using his chest
Likely range: 12-25
