He was below average efficiency guard even by college standards.
He is more like 2-guard too small and too ball dominant to play as SG.
Probably career backup, change of pace guard.
Getting his shot selection under control will be a big defining point for him. He could still fix his efficiency and become a good sparkplug scorer. I mean, we've had a C who's had two seasons with a sub 50% TS%, but he's never had that "go get a basket" type of game Anthony does. We've got Fultz and Gordon and have looked into DSJ before. Hammond loved him some Brandon Jennings before. He might not be completely out of consideration.
I can picture the sales pitch WeHam would use if we took him. "This guy was a top 3 players in his class just over a year ago. We're excited to see him return to those heights in the NBA" or something.
Like I said in another post, I'm not endorsing him, but also not convinced he's a waste of a pick. I'd take a round 2 PG instead of him.
