ARCHETYPE/POTENTIAL ROLE 

Your prototypical 3-and-D wing who has yet to fully confirm the 3-point ability of that equation. Put up some impressive scoring numbers this past season at Kansas but many of those points came in a role that he will not play at the next level. He does have plus passing for his archetype and I do think he can attack a closeout when necessary. The offense really hinges on whether or not he is able to make enough catch-and-shoot 3-point attempts to stay on the floor and force defenses to respect/guard him. Defensively is where he really offers a ton of value. I do not think he is “elite” on the ball but he is very good and I do think he is elite with his disruption and playmaking on this end of the court.
