A pure flamethrower off the bench — 42% from three on real volume, the kind of movement shooter who bends a defense just by spacing the corner. The rest of the profile is modest, but a jumper this dangerous plays in any lineup.

Current deal: $11,323,006 cap hit · through '28. On the contract row the flat dashed line is this salary, so the gap to the 2026-27 forecast is the surplus.

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.
