DRIBBLING
Good and competent ball-handler though not a guy you want handling the ball for an extended period of time. Has flashed some advanced stuff like cross-overs, hesitations, and even behind-the-back dribbles. Left hand is pretty solid. Could stand to tighten up his handle a bit.
PASSING
Really solid passer and willing one, too. Has flashed an array of passes on the move, showing some creativity when pressured. Not a ball-stopper -- if he doesn't see good opportunity, will swing ball quickly. Uses long arms to whip passes around the court when opportunity presents itself. Can effectively rocket passes into shooting pocket. Does a good job of finding open guy on perimeter. Has flashed ability to find his big man in paint or a baseline cutter when driving with wrap-arounds. Likes to drive into top of key, get his feet set and find his guys on the perimeter/coming off screens. Doesn't see corners very well, but could be due to mask interfering with peripheral vision.
SHOOTING
Shot selection could improve, but not bad; likes to step inside 3-pt line and take long 2s at times. Should be attacking rim more often, but sometimes settles for mid-range Js. Takes shots within the flow of the offense for the most part. Really good spot-up/C&S shooter when feet are set -- virtually textbook jumper (84th percentile on spot-up, no-dribble Js; 91st percentile on C&S). Has flashed ability to hit OTD step-back Js.
Pretty and fluid shooting form coming off screens and/or pulling up but efficiency isn't there yet, but enough to reasonably assume it will improve with reps. Better with his feet set in C&S sitches. Dips the ball down pretty far on C&S 3s (below waist line). Release point is nice and high. Could stand to speed up his release a bit, but it's not slow. Has quite a bit of gravity. Defenders are pretty much only 2-3 feet away almost always. Has shown ability to knock down shots from NBA range.
Touch around the rim isn't great as of current, but has flashed enough finishing ability to be optimistic for future improvement. Has shown he can finish through contact at times. Can play above the rim at times when he has room to load up.
MISC
Has flashed ability to euro-step as well as the willingness to attempt behind-the-back dribbles when driving. Shows willingness and instinct for cutting, reads when man is sleeping on him. Pretty awesome ISO player (84th percentile in ISO-derived offense + 88th percentile in own ISO offense) due to gravity from pull-up 3 and threat of going to rim.
DEFENSE
Somewhat raw on defensive end. Makes head-scratching decisions at times, though not very often. Shows good understanding of angles; does a good job of keeping arms up to cut off potential passes. Gets caught ball-watching at times and loses sense of where man is.
When switched on to bigs in P&Rs, does a good job fronting and discouraging entry passes. Isn't easy to push around due to strength.
Solid defensive awareness. Understands what is happening around him and when he needs to help, though is prone to over-helping on occasion. Rotates well on the perimeter and interior for the most part. Needs to work on footwork -- prone to crossing feet.
Overall decision-making is not bad, but needs to improve in order to unlock full defensive potential. Sometimes takes less-than-ideal angles, instead of backpedaling to keep BH in front. Overall, does a solid job of staying in front of guys and discouraging anything real from happening in ISO situations. Can find himself caught in ""no man's land"" at time with poor positioning off-ball at times.
Has flashed capability of stopping attacking BH in transition while backpedaling and keeping arms up. Capable of using long arms to play passing lanes; does read passes before they happen.
