Like, he's a great passer, does work in transition, and is probably one of the better "pure PGs" in the draft in terms of creating for others.

That said, the red flags are glaring:

- his FT percentage suggests his 3 point shooting should be better than it was... but the stroke also doesn't pass the eye test.
- he's one of the worst finishers in the class. Doesn't like contact, takes weird floaters, etc.
- he's not nearly quick enough to get separation in the NBA.
- he's not nearly quick enough to defend even average PGs in the NBA.
- he also doesn't have the size or length to defend in the NBA.

So he doesn't project as a good shooter, or a good scorer, or a good defender. So, like, what is he?

Like, I feel like he's a less-good Kendall Marshall. Maybe if he figures out his jumper, he can have bench backup PG value... but, like, that jumper's gotta get waaaaay better to make up for how bad he'll be on defense.
