Pros
- +Long guard with length; highly valuable in the NBA. Could play multiple positions.
- +Aggressive driver who finishes well at the rim.
- +Solid left-handed shooter with a quick release.
- +High IQ and smart player who reads and spaces the floor well (especially when backdoor cutting). Should translate well in the NBA.
- +Crafty ball handler for his size.
- +Great vision; uses his size to pass over and around the defense.
- +Constantly hunts for mismatches, whether as a scorer or playmaker.
- +Plays with an unpredictable rhythm that is off beat for defenders, but on beat for him.
- +Rebounds well for a guard.
- +Hard work ethic; constantly wanting to learn and be the best. Praised by coaches for his exceptional maturity.
- +No serious medical history concerns.
Cons
- −Average wingspan.
- −Needs to add muscle; will lose positional advantage and get pushed around easily.
- −Lack of athleticism.
- −Poor lateral quickness; will get blown by defenders at the NBA level.
- −Should look at developing a consistent floater to his game considering the size and athleticism of the NBA.
- −Predictable when driving: if he dribbles and drives right, he wants to finish at the rim. If he dribbles and drives left, he is looking to shoot (either via stepback, pull-up, or go into a dribble combo).
- −Needs to be stronger with the ball.
- −Will be sought after as a mismatch on defense.
- −Can he become a reliable two-way threat?

Overall
Overall, I think he is an extremely talented draft prospect who fits the modern play style of NBA guards nowadays, who should go top-5. I see him having an impact similar to Josh Giddey or Egor Dëmin, if utilized effectively and under a good coaching and development system. I think he may need a couple of years in the league, however, to get adjusted to the NBA.
