Overview

Dynamic scoring guard who earned SEC Newcomer of the Year after transferring to Tennessee. Deep perimeter range with a quick trigger and the handle to create at all three levels. Size is the primary concern.

Strengths

+High-arching shot with clean mechanics and deep range
+Excellent playmaker averaging 5.6 APG with 2.1 SPG
+Quick trigger and the craft to create separation
+Competes defensively with active hands

Weaknesses

-Size at 6'1" could be exploited defensively against bigger guards
-Three-point percentage — 34.5% on high volume is inconsistent
-Frame questions — needs to add strength
