Weaknesses: While he plays within the flow, there are times he could pick up the intensity and plays a bit too casual. Would like to see him turn it on more as a scorer when the team needs a basket. Can occasionally go through quiet stretches … Spaces the floor but would like to see him get more action off the ball. He’s likely a wing at the next levels so getting easier baskets off the ball will be important moving forward … Has some room to be more dynamic and expand his game as a scorer …
