There aren't many guys in this draft with his combo of shooting (very good) and passing (elite for the class). He's also got a nose for rebounds and ultimately just kind of knows where to be on the floor. He's a catch-and-shoot guy, not a creator, but that's okay for NBA floor spacing.

I'm obviously concerned about defense, as he's not quick or athletic, but he generally knows where to be-- he'll get burned in iso against good wings, yes, but he doesn't get out of position. End of the day, the shoot-pass combo is high enough that I'm taking him if I'm a contender and letting him work as a potential instant-impact bench shooter.
