Outlook

An excellent combo guard who can shift between the point guard and shooting guard spot.  With the ability to really score from beyond the 3pt line, opponents must devise their defenses to counteract this threat.  Looks to draw a lot of contact and still get to the rim to finish or pass off.  Has excellent vision and lays perfect passes down for team mates.  When lining up at the point spot he is capable to run an offense efficiently and directs other players well. An extremely vocal leader when he plays.  Plays great position defense.   A great work ethic he demands the same of all his teammates.  Will be an excellent  addition to a team this season.  A very scrappy competitor he keeps his intensity at a high level right till the end of the game.  Shooting so well is also a problem for him because he consistently has to line up at the SG spot to give many teams the scoring options they need.
