Standing around 6'3, he's a solid body with a good skill set. He works mostly off ball right now attacking openings with his dribble, and using strong finishes at the rim. Not a lot of wasted movement. He's a good passer, court runner.

He has the tools to takes his game to another level with continued skill development, right now he's bouncing around the paint snatching rebounds, and defending aggressively while on the court. At other times we've seen him handle the ball up top and on the perimeter making it hard for defenders to keep him out of the paint.
