Strengths: Strong outside shooter, knocks down the 3 with consistency...decent athletically, more do to length than strength...plays with heart, and is capable of carrying a team...plays calm under pressure, but needs to learn when not to force shots...aggressive on defense, but has a tougher time against stronger opponents. Weaknesses: Needs more strength and a larger body to be able to compete at the next level....still not completely developed physically and mentally...inside game needs significant work....needs to cut down on the turnovers and see the open man with more consistency...defense needs to improve to be able to guard NBA Forwards, but that should come with added size and strength.
Quote #1: Quote #2:
Short Commentary: Will play the 3 in the NBA...mid first round pick...If body and mind strength improve, he has a chance to become a contributor on a decent team...No stunningly athletic, but length and vertical jump make him an intriguing prospect, especially with the new run of 6'10 centers entering the NBA from oversees...should continue to work on his jump shot, which is prone to cold streaks.
