What analysts are saying
- "The smooth guard has good physical tools with the ability to pass out of pick-and-roll sets and make shots with range pulling up off the dribble. His size and length should allow him to play alongside another point guard in the same backcourt." - Jonathan Givony, ESPN/DraftExpress
