A player that does not necessarily pass the ”eye” test, he can be easily overlooked but his performances throughout the event were among some of the best of any player in the division. He led all scorers in PPG at just over 21 Points per contest, which included a 28 Point performance in Round 1. Playing the game at his own pace and not forcing difficult shots, he not only shot a high percentage but had a solid number of assists to teammates each game.

A Shooting Guard with a silky smooth game, he brings plenty of the traits that you like to see from a player that can excel at the SG spots. He can score the ball with efficiency from multiple levels, has a quick first step, and understands how to get his shot off regardless of how he is being defended.
His athleticism is what catches your attention immediately but he’s more than just a high flyer. Throughout the event he rebounded the ball well, was solid overall defensively and played with a high motor from start to finish.
