Charlotte's rising young wing and a prototype modern scorer — 20.2 points a night with a smooth, high-volume jumper (38.3% from three, 89.2% at the line) and an 86th-percentile shooting profile. At just 23 he's still polishing the rest of the game (a so-so finisher inside, modest playmaking), but the size, shot-making, and shot diet point at a future cornerstone.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
