Electric scoring guard that can go out and get buckets in bunches. Had a great June with his high school team. Comfortable playing on or off the ball. He’s really good in the pick and roll turning the corner and getting into the lane. Defender goes under the ball screen, he’s more than comfortable pulling up from deep where he’s a really good shooter with deep range. He’s a hard nosed defender that plays with active hands and pressures full court. Capable of taking out the other teams best offensive player and being a game changer on that end.
