Offense
- Incredible shooter, one of the best in this class
- Doesn’t get bored on offense, is constantly moving

- Doesn’t do hardly anything with the ball in his hands
- Inconsistent and poor finisher at the rim
Defense
- Very much a team defender rather than individual
- Good on rotations/awareness/IQ
- Hindered by athleticism, tends to gets put on skates
- Not going to become a shot-blocker
