Very good shooter from three. Doesn't contribute much else besides that. His role would be as a pure 3 pt shooter (Duncan Robinson role). He has good positional size, but is a subpar athlete for an NBA wing. Question is whether he could hold his own on defense. It's a maybe in my eyes. To me, he'd need to be a truly elite shooter from three to justify the defensive questions and lack of creation on offense. To me, his shooting motion is a little on the slower side, and I view him as a very good, but not truly elite shooter. For those reasons, I don't see him justifying time on the court and an NBA role. Didn't impress at the combine.
