A pure shooting specialist with elite touch — 39.9% from three on a sparkling 61.6% true shooting and 90% at the line, ranking in the 93rd percentile as a shooter in his limited bench role. He moves the ball, competes on the wing, and finished well inside when he got there. He's still carving out a consistent role, but the jumper is an NBA-caliber skill already.
