Scouting report

A guard with extraordinary physicality and athleticism. Has great ability to attack the basket and he’s a fantastic scorer inside the paint. Plays above the rim! Terrific efficiency in transition, he’s impossible to stop when operating with space. Great cutter in the halfcourt and he can use powerful dribbles to attack his defender one-on-one. He’s able to make mid-range jumpers and has very good shooting potential. He’s also one of the best rebounding guards around! And he’s a fantastic defender with great versatility and ability to switch: he does a great job using his athleticism and length on and off the ball, he’s very physical, and he plays with incredible intensity.
