Weaknesses:

-Extremely turnover prone
-Underwhelming passer
-Poor shot-selection
-Extremely poor defender
-Short arms
-Poor defensive fundamentals
-High-level basketball experience looks limited
-Doesn't really know how to play against similarly talented/organized teams
Outlook:
Scored over 30 points in all three games he participated in. Led tournament by a wide margin in scoring. Helped Team China have a very competitive tournament, including a surprising win over KK Zagreb. Looks to have a significant future in international basketball. Extremely unpolished at the moment on both ends of the floor, but shows great talent. Speculation is he was born in 1992, not 1994 as listed.
