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.

Overall Grade: B
