ARCHETYPE/POTENTIAL ROLE
A versatile wing/forward that is able to do more than space the floor but I do think that still needs to be his elite offensive contribution. While not being a true creator, his passing will absolutely be a major plus for what his role will be in the NBA. Has some intriguing scoring upside inside the 3-point line but some of that will be determined by how his mid post isolation scoring can be translated to downhill drives from attacking closeouts. Has shown a great shot fake, footwork and craft with his finishing package. I have concerns about how he holds up defensively on the ball, and while he does have good height he isn’t the strongest or most physical of wing/forwards, but I think he will undoubtedly be a plus with his off the ball defense.
