A relentless, do-everything connector who rebounds his position into the ground — 7.4 boards as a wing, 83rd percentile — and pushes the pace as a secondary playmaker (4.8 assists). He shot a career-best 41.3% from three on 61.2% true shooting and defends his tail off; the one knock is the turnovers, where he sits in the 10th percentile for ball security.
