He's an excellent ball handler with vision and passing skills around the perimeter and in transition. He's consistent with the mid-range pull-up off the dribble, he gets good lift in the paint. He'll drop a 3ptr off the dribble up top, and coming down in transition.

He's long wiry probably has a few more inches, and bulk to add to his frame. We've seen him hit the short corner jumper, pass, and cuts to the rim from the free throw area. He is a big moving target moving across the lane, keeping it high and finishing at the rim. On the defensive side, he'll change some shots, and get his rebounds.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2274973"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"He's a big guard with a solid body, he has good ball handling, and passing from the top.

He plays a good all around game from the guard position. He uses his dribble to attack the paint, taking it right at defenders, he plays off two feet, and  has balance. He has good lift pulling up for paint jumpers. He handles, and passes up top showing he can run point. He hit the mid-range jumper off the dribble, he'll drop a 3ptr if he's left open. He's an alert defender who'll get his hands on loose ball. His season high was 30pts.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2352695"],"_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":"A good ball handling and passing guard, who sees the court, he's a ball mover, who can work and attack off ball.
