Essential Questions
Q1: What’s your great skill/attribute?
Shooting
Q2: Could you have played a role in any of the NBA finals of the past 2-3 years?
Yes…standstill shooting
Q3: Take him if?
You believe he can utilize the handle to become a true secondary playmaking options
Want sure fire C&S & are okay w/ the fact he may not develop much else

Michigan were worse w/ him than they were w/o him
Great bloodlines of course
Lacks athleticism vertically or burst wise
Would like for him to add some strength & work on lateral mobility

OFFENSE
Deep range, great shot. Must be accounted for at the next level. Quick, high release. Gets from A to Z the way you want. Rarely affected by good closeouts. Able to get his shot off over anyone. Can run full sprint to the corners or the wings & transition, has the body control to slow down & catch in rhythm. HS #s good too…always been a good shooter…Made 40 percent from 3 as a freshman in high school, 37 percent as a sophomore, 43.9 percent as a junior and 41.7 percent as a senior (the last two years, according to Synergy).

Smooth & easy catching in rhythm. Can stroke it from well beyond 3. Can move off ball & get squared for his 3.
Prefers to be set for C&S, but has potential to be an ideal movement shooter. Low on pre load & catch, allows him to catch & get into shot cleanly.

Effective coming off down screens & DHOs…popping on spain P&Rs too.

38.1% on pull up shots. Capable of shooting off the jump from 3 w/ regularity. Good on side step 3s.

Really good handle for his size. Will allow him to thrive in the mid range. Creates space & separation w/ his long crossover. Has impressive spin dribbles where he changes hands. Like the in & out into a cross. Really moves defender on the in & out portion.

Has a nice scissor step fake drive

Wants to go to his right almost always…used going to his right in P&R a lot. Especially in the mid range. Will make tough turnarounds. Capable both ways, but seems to prefer right

Doesn’t handle being forced into his left well in P&R. Leads to TOVs…
