He's a rising versatile prospect that makes his presence felt on both ends of the court. He was somewhat dominant working the post area. Stronger than he looks, has a variety of ways to convert around the rim, good footwork, toughness. He has the ability to handle the ball, create at times, range to knock down 3's and mid-range jumpers. He's fun to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2952258"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a8c9de183164"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's fine tuning his combo guard skills mixing scoring and facilitating the teams offense.
