Capable rim protector & playmaker

A two-way wing whose 32-game sample reads as a connector more than a scorer — 7 points on a thin 51.5% true shooting with shaky outside touch (32.8% from three) but decent ball security and passing instincts. Fringe rotation depth still trying to carve out an NBA niche.
