Displayed his ability to not only score the ball at a very high level, finishing 3rd in PPG but also his IQ and natural feel for the game, making the correct play time and time again. He has good upper body strength that helps him finish through contact when he attacks the paint while also possessing impressive three-point shooting ability.
