“Defensively he’s a monster…I think at the NBA level he’s probably guarding more twos and threes, maybe the occasional one to bother him with his length… Not quite going to be a star, he’s going to be more of an energy guy, guard multiple positions, bring athleticism…his footwork is unreal. It reminds me a bit of Aaron Gordon last year…shooting the ball is the biggest thorn in his side. If he was a guy you could count on to make an open three, he’d be a sure-fire lottery pick…he needs to continue to play under control. He gets ahead of himself sometimes, tries to maybe play outside of himself so maybe hone that in a little bit. He gets wild with the ball a little bit…”
