A 3-and-D guard whose defense is the headline — 91st-percentile perimeter defense and 83rd-percentile rim protection for his position, with 1.2 steals in just 20 minutes. He keeps it simple offensively (6.7 points, 36.3% from three) and won't create for others, but he's a low-usage, high-disruption pest who fits any lineup. A free agent for 2026-27.
