Scouting Report
Has the raw tools to be a good NBA forward: athleticism, quickness, and power. A lefty who can both bring the ball up and fill the lane. Has worked to become well-rounded, showing a nice mix of 3-point shooting range, post-up moves, and rebounding toughness. Also possesses a solid wingspan. Still developing overall polish and could do more going to his right on drives and shots. Will likely need to refine his game somewhat (becoming either more a small forward or a power forward) to find his NBA niche.
Long Range Potential: Athletic combo forward with intriguing upside.
