Offensive Impact
Massive efficiency leap from 23-24 to 24-25. Looks like it came from less on ball responsibility. More of his buckets were assisted this season.
Higher usage off screens this season as well.
Doesn’t seem to force the issue as a pick and roll handler, but not sure I trust him in that action at high volume. Solid IQ but doesn’t have any special traits.
Not a ton of craft to his game, and his shot looks flat off the bounce.
Quality spot up game.
Efficient shooter with repeatable mechanics.
Strongish driver with some burst off the dribble. Not a ton of lift at the rim however. 58.5% FG at the rim (50th percentile).
Profiles more as an off ball/combo guard. Can be a solid #2 perimeter option. With Wesley Yates joining the mix, he won’t be as much responsibility on the ball.
Defensive Impact
3.4% stl rate
Potentially too handsy at times and looking to hunt steals. Allows blow byes too often.
Good size and speed combo to guard multiple types of perimeter players.
Solid system fit overall, if there isn’t too much responsibility on either end.
