A 22-year-old wing carving out a 3-and-D role on a cheap deal — he knocked down 37.2% of his threes and competes hard on the perimeter, grading near the top in defense and ball security. The volume and rebounding are minimal (6.0 points, 1.5 boards), but the shooting-plus-defense combo is exactly the kind of low-cost glue piece a contender wants.

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.
