was the embodiment of a pure shooter. The lefty sniper punished defenses all day with a high-arching, quick-trigger release that barely grazed the rim on makes. In transition, Best generated downhill momentum before kicking into his next gear with controlled strides as he either attacked the rim or flowed fluidly into rhythm jumpers from his sweet spots. Defensively, he competed with grit, refusing to be scored on while applying tight on-ball pressure, cutting off driving angles, and making opponents uncomfortable by forcing them east-west rather than downhill.

Instead, he is consistently on the move trying to create open looks for himself off the catch.

Defensively, he possesses quick hands on the ball and the agility to keep up with opposing ball handlers.
