He's long at 6'7, and stronger then he looks. He gets out into transition and in open court looking to finish strong at the rim, or put up an improved 3pt shot. He takes it strong to the rim along the base line. He'll help on the boards.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1384820"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"We'll get a good look at the 6'4 point guard this spring and summer.

He's much improved around the basket with power moves, drop steps, and paint jumpers, he's good going up off two. He'll go get rebounds out of his space, and go after blocks.
