Strengths • Good positional size at 6’3 for a guard. • Quick first step and transition ability. • Active defender with potential to guard multiple backcourt spots. • Competitive edge and energy — doesn’t shy away from pressure. Areas to Improve • Shooting consistency (three-point and pull-up game not reliable yet). • Needs to add strength to finish through contact and defend bigger guards. • Decision-making under pressure (turnover prone in PnR • forcing shots). • Off-ball awareness — sometimes loses focus in rotations.
