Scouting Report
Was productive and above-average as a 3-point threat, with a nice jumper and a smooth release. Pretty fearless as a shooter. Also showed some versatility on the wing. Launched too many of his attempts from downtown and was very streaky. Lingered too much around the arc, which limited his rebounding chances. Provided little as a passer or defender.
Long Range Potential: Good-scoring perimeter swingman / shooting specialist.
