Eastern · Southeast · proj. 34-48 (▲+10.8)
→

A long, switchable 21-year-old wing whose value lives on defense and energy — strong perimeter pressure (66th percentile), 1.3 steals, and surprising rim deterrence for a guard. The offense is still developing: he gets to the line at a high clip (77th percentile foul-drawing) but the jumper lagged at just under 32% from three on modest volume. A cornerstone-type defender waiting on the shot.
