Strengths:
-Aggressive scoring guard. 23 points per-40 in 24 summer events (EYBL, Adidas Nations, Nike Global Challenge)
-Always in attack mode looking to make things happen
-Lives at the free throw line. Over 8 FTA per-40
-Pushes ball very well in transition. Draws quite a few fouls in the process
-Can play some pick and roll. Changes speeds nicely
-Very competitive on defense. Displays a high intensity level consistently
-Gets in the passing lanes regularly. 3.2 steals per-40
-Terrific rebounder for a guard. 7.9 per-40
-Not a non-shooter. Can throw the ball in the basket both with feet set and off the dribble. Needs to tweak mechanics to become more consistent. Shot 96/122 (79%) from the free throw line this summer

Weaknesses:
-Has average size for a shooting guard at 6-3 ¼. Does not have great length to make up for it (6-4 wingspan)
-More of a wing than a combo guard at this stage. Decision making is fairly poor
-Posted a negative assist to turnover ratio this summer (64/71)
-Has a tendency to dribble with head down and drive into brick walls. Take questionable shots early in the shot-clock.
-Shot just 48% for 2 this summer
-Has a lot of work to do on his perimeter jumper, particularly off the dribble. Hit just 27/97 of 3-point attempts this summer (28%)


Outlook: Canadian shooting guard who goes to high school in Utah. Had a very strong showing at adidas Nations, scoring 30 points per-40 on very good shooting percentages. Displayed better potential as a jump-shooter than he had in other settings, but on a very small sample size. Aggressive player on both ends of the floor. Will be a very good college player. Needs to continue to round out his game to be considered more than that.
