STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • very good game reading ability. Makes quick and good decisions. Plays with a lot of flair.
  • really skilled with the ball. Very good ball handling, has a lot of moves to get past defender. Can split the defense after pick &roll and pass off the bounce
  • polished player for his age group. Has advanced understanding of the game, veteran-like tricks
  • creates own shoots with three point range. Has a really quick trigger but sometimes takes attempt off balance. Can also drive to the basket. Knows how to use body, can finish with a floater
  • very competitive on both ends. Plays hard and with confidence
  • shows very good defensive effort. Fights to go over the screens. Quick enough on his feet and body can also contain dribble penetrations 
  

  • average size considering he is more of a scorer creating for himself first and then for others
  • strong legs and decent upper body but seems to be a bit mature over age with not much room for improvement from physical standpoint
  • a bit ball hog. He won’t have it that often on the high professional level surrounded by better talent. Needs to make adjustment in playing style and keep developing shooting guard skills like coming off screens
