Extremely fast but under controll with the ball in his hands. Can put pressure on defenses with his quickness. Crafty ball handler and finisher. Can score in the lane amongst the trees. Good shooter from beyond the arc. Really good getting in the lane and creating for himself or others. Runs the offense well understanding where the ball needs to be in making the right play.
