Long and crafty player who has a knack for scoring. Has become a very consistent shooter and can light it up from deep. He is able to make shots in a variety of ways: contested, off the dribble (both ways), stepbacks, fadeaways. Put together an impressive season in one of the top European leagues and has shown that he can carry the load as the primary scorer. Is very mature for his age, plays with great confidence and composure. Has an awkward 2 step (he is able to alter his speed and change direction once he picks up his dribble) going to the basket, allowing him to get by people and finish around the basket. Shows patience when making moves, getting his defender off balance with a variety of fakes and jabs. Knows how to draw contact and sell the foul to the refs. When a defender cuts off his angle to the basket, he has a very effective up & under that he utilizes even out to 15 feet. Has developed a scorers mentality, but there are obvious glimpses where he shows a good feel for the game and ability to find open teammates. While he has good height, he is strictly a perimeter player as he has limited back to the basket moves and his weak frame also makes him a non threat in the post. His rebounding numbers are only decent, for a player at his position, getting major minutes, they should be higher.
