He looks to me like an out of control score 1st score 2nd MKG offensively, without the completely broken shot and with bigger range.
His very direct, non-stop attack mode approach with or without the ball, those hard cuts and use of his physical superiority close to the basket making those simple quick and powerful moves when he's inside the paint immediately after receiving the ball, the hustle going after offensive rebounds, and the solid handle enabling him together with his physical and athletic ability to get to the rim.
He's gonna get alot of stick his first couple of years in the league, and should hope he lands with a decent coach who can channel that ability into a productive player.
Despite the faults I like that attitude, and think it makes him special, considering his age and room for improvement with some fine tuning.
If he gets someone like a Paul Westphal a couple of years ago who'll just give him the ball and say "go" without really teaching and helping him figuring out whats a good or bad shot and help him with plays to highlight his advantages, he might put up high volume numbers in low efficiency but in the big picture it will only hurt him and not push him forward.
