4/16 Big Board

“PHYSICAL - Quick for a guard - Weak for even a small guard SKILLS - Has a great handle, but over dribbles at times - Can sometimes lose space that was generated - Not the most consistent space generator - Some shots can be ill advised and/or wildly off - Not a true p&r ball handler due to mistakes in using screens and inability to read the defense - Prefers isos SHOOTING - Has a pure jumper with decent to good speed release and decent release point - Jumper can be blocked on even a perfect release due to short height despite good elevation - Prefers to shoot on ball but can shoot from anywhere - His range extends deep FINISHING - Can get above the rim very occasionally - Not the most secure finisher due to struggles through contact - Despite driving ability poor finishing takes away all rim pressure PASSING - Isn't always the most willing passer - Can have very varying accuracy levels between pass types - Good to great accuracy on cross court/kick out/entry passes - Ok to solid accuracy on pocket/lob passes - Prefers cross court passing as his vision is great compared to kick out passes where he is tentative, perhaps due to habits rather than slow processing DEFENSE - Is too small to contest properly - Not strong enough to stay in front - Can be blown by due to slower change in direction from hip swivel”
