A defensive menace who offers complementary offense with his shooting, though his ball handling must improve.
SHADES OF: Victor Oladipo, Patrick Beverley, small Gerald Wallace
PLUSES
MINUSES
- Elite perimeter defender who moves quick laterally, can switch onto wings, and combines good technique with intensity to neutralize opponents.
- Strong frame with thick legs and a long wingspan enables him to battle on post switches and rebound at a high level for his position.
- Plays and looks like a strong safety off-ball; quickly closes out to intercept passes and pickpocket ball handlers.
- Turns defense into offense with steals, deflections, and rebounds.
- Knockdown spot-up 3-point shooter who shows flashes of dynamic play off screens and handoffs.
- Ambidextrous at-rim finisher who’s at his best when feeding off teammates on straight-line drives, slashes, and cuts.
- His quick first step, long strides, and steadily improving handle suggests there’s untapped shot-creation potential.
- Skilled post player who can facilitate from the block or beat up on smaller guards.
- Puts velocity on passes, tends to make smart plays, and loves to throw long outlet passes.
- Models his game after Kawhi Leonard.
- High, loose dribble makes it hard for him to create shots against a set defense.
- Uncomfortable shooting off the dribble; he needs to work on his footwork and quicken his release.
- Already a good shooter, but must extend his range to assure it translates to the NBA level.
- Pick-and-roll feel can improve by mixing in different speeds and more hesitations.
- Occasionally telegraphs or forces passes that he shouldn’t make.

AGE21.8
HEIGHT/WEIGHT6'5''/195
WINGSPAN6'9''
STANDING REACH8'2.5''
A hard-nosed wing who grits and grinds on defense, but must improve his jumper to stick around.
SHADES OF: Spencer Dinwiddie, Doug Christie, Wade Baldwin
PLUSES
MINUSES
- Versatile defender with strength and length to battle larger players, plus the speed to contain smaller ones.
- Plays hard as a help defender, and generally makes proper rotations; defense is his ticket to a long career.
- Good rebounder for his position.
- Capable pick-and-roll orchestrator. He uses hesitations well, makes the proper read, and delivers fairly accurate passes.
- Creates space off the dribble when attacking closeouts or running the pick-and-roll, which suggests long-term shot-creation upside.
- Understands how to play off-ball as evidenced by his timely cuts and transition sprints.
- Underwent surgery on his left foot in 2018, which prematurely ended his sophomore season.
- Inconsistent shooter with irregular, inconsistent form. Sometimes the elbow flares out, and his feet land differently each time.
- Lacks natural touch on his floater, and is a subpar free throw shooter; both raise concerns about his ability to develop into a reliable shooter.
- Average ball handler who lacks burst after his initial first step, which leads to wild at-rim finishes; sometimes it looks like he’s flinging the ball at the rim.
- Lacks shot-creation ability against a set defense.
