Draft Prospect Outlook
STRENGHTS
- Elite shooter who made 43% of his 3s in college; rated in 97th percentile last season as spot-up shooter
- High IQ lead guard who makes smart passes, limits mistakes and can quarterback an offense
- Engaged defender who consistently plays above physical limitations; plays with good anticipation and has always been good team defender
WEAKNESSES
- Physically limited: at 6-foot-1 is one of the smallest lead guards in this year's draft, and he's not the most explosive athlete, either
- Overcomes lack of athletic pop with skill and feel, but can't blow by defenders because of his smaller frame and lack of top-end speed
PRO COMPARISON: Fred VanVleet
