This allows him to get in the lane and find his teammates for wide-open opportunities. Although he is a lefty he doesn’t mind getting to his right hand to make plays happen as well. On the defensive end, he isn’t afraid to push up on an opposing team ball handler which makes it tough for him to advance the ball up the court.
