Strengths: Good size for a wing with a frame that should be able to add strength and muscle … Excellent length with a 7-foot wingspan … Comfortable shooting off the catch or on 1 and 2 dribble pull ups … Excellent feel for the game – Has instincts that allow him to always seem to be in the right position at the right time … High level understanding of the game, knows how to create spacing for his teammates and find openings in the defense … Looks to capitalize off defenders’ mistakes … Rebounds the ball well for a guard … Uses jab steps very well to create space and read how defenders are guarding him … Is able to shoot effectively even with defenders in his area … Accepts contact and goes up strong when shooting in the paint … Uses opponents’ momentum against them to create opportunities for himself by using pump fakes and jab steps … Runs the floor well in transition and finds a good balance between running to the rim and spotting up for three on the break … Always on balance – on rare instances where he is off balance, he is able to regain his balance before making a move … Works hard on both ends of the court and can be sneaky when finding his way into rebounding position … Excellent anticipation knowing where rebounds will end up … Plays solid position defense … Shoots the ball well from college and NBA three point range …

 

Weaknesses: Doesn’t play with speed/enough athleticism to create his own shots on a routine basis … First step and ability to create offense off the dribble and get to the rim remain a work in progress … May need to rely on team offense and playing with other creators to reach his ceiling … May struggle when NBA athletes crowd him, forcing him to become better at moving without the ball … Lacks explosion, especially on his first step, which allows defenders to stay in front of him with regularity … Many scoring opportunities for him at Arkansas came when they used him as a screener – his team will have to scheme him open to get good looks … May struggle when defending very quick or explosive players that can take angles away from him … Had a 1:1 assist to turnover ratio at Arkansas … Doesn’t create a ton of looks for teammates in the half court, but part of that was the way Arkansas used him within their offense …
