Summary

Oversized combo guard with legitimate positional size at 6-6. Freshman season at Illinois showed flashes of perimeter shooting and defensive versatility, though overall production remained limited in high-major competition. Needs physical development and ball-handling refinement to maximize NBA upside.

Strengths

  • Excellent size for guard position creates matchup advantages
  • Shooting mechanics show NBA three-point range potential
  • Length allows him to contest shots at guard spot
  • Solid baseline awareness on defense against multiple positions

Weaknesses

  • Limited ball-handling package restricts on-ball creation ability
  • Thin frame needs significant strength addition for contact
  • Struggled with consistency in freshman minutes at Illinois
