A pass-first young guard who quietly logged real minutes off the bench, dishing 3.9 assists in 20 a night with playmaking in the 82nd percentile and a respectable 37.4% from three. The finishing inside is a glaring weakness (3rd percentile) and he turns it over too much, but the table-setting and the jumper give him a developmental backup-guard path.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2024-25 → 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.
