Solid Shooting technique with a release that is quick enough, and shoots it with confidence. He can play big, but is even better on the wing due to his guard skills. I can see future improvements in his dribbling and drives to the basket, as well as his free-throw shooting. He has a routine at the foul line, so I think it could get much better. He has solid hands-on defense and fair timing in his contests near the rim. Plays with energy and feeds off of his made baskets, so if he sees one go through the net, then it could become an onslaught.
