Not a great athlete, but strong, shifty, smart— knows how to find his spots, knocks them down. He and Sheppard have the prettiest shots in the class. Really good rebounder for his size— again, has a nose for where to be, and isn’t afraid to play physical basketball unlike some other guards with his shooting pedigree.

He’s going to struggle defensively due to size/wingspan, but he also has enough strength and nose for the big play that he’s not a total wash here.

But man, he’s an elite character kid, he talks shit out there, and he was Duke’s de facto emotional leader by season’s end, which is crazy given how much talent returned. I’ve seen comparisons to Bryn Forbes and Seth Curry, but I think he’s better than both.
