Liabilites
May struggle to find a good position in the NBA; upon appearance looks to be closer to 6-3 1/2 to 6-4 opposed to his 6-5 listing ... Defensively he struggles to defend opposing players with great quickness … While not terrible, his lateral quickness is below average … Needs to become more assertive and fight through screens and picks better … Not exceptionally creative generating offense for himself off the dribble., keeps it simple … Doesn’t have a great first step which hampers him from gaining full separation from his defender, thus less of a threat offensively … Lacks the body control to finish in traffic on his drives to the basket … Not a great shooter off the dribble, is better when his feet are set … Can go through periods where his jump shot is inconsistent … Does a good job of grabbing long rebounds but will not be a big rebounder on the NBA level … At times makes his shot harder than it has to be as he tries to sell contact to the refs by flailing his arms and legs … Potential isn’t great, close to maximizing it …
