Scouting Report

Assets	Fast and excels at pushing the ball and running the break. A superb one-on-one player who can score on his own and force double-teams (opening up teammates).
Flaws	Undersized in terms of both height and bulk. Commits a lot of turnovers and needs to keep developing as a playmaker. Needs to shoot better from the field.
Career Potential	Depth point guard with good potential. Awards
