Scouting Report

AssetsA fearless pure scorer with good instincts and a lot of nice moves. Has consistent, excellent shooting range and good inside-outside balance.
FlawsA bit small for the NBA shooting guard position and, while a solid athlete, won't overwhelm pro opponents physically. Doesn't offer much as a distributor.
Career potentialStreaky scoring guard.
