Per Eurobasket.com: “Athletic combo guard who played college basketball at the highest level. Quick first step and lift on jump shot allows him to score in a variety of ways and with efficiency. Rebounds extremely well for position, and can defend all three perimeter positions with quickness, length and strength. Excellent passing instincts, but still developing as a consistent creator for teammates. Needs to improve percentage at the foul line”.
