Scouting Report
Lightning fast, he was very capable and confident running an offense. Was a pass-first point guard who pushed the ball up the floor at great speed. Could pile up assists but also burned defenses whenever they overplayed him. Was also a pretty decent shooter outside the arc. Streaky, he did not do a good enough job poaching for steals (especially for a player whose greatest strength was in transition). Lacked size and did not provide much as a rebounder.
Long Range Potential: Speedy, offensive rotational point guard.
