A live-wire combo guard who put up an eye-catching 17.4 points and 7.4 assists per game with disruptive defense — 2.2 steals a night, 91st-percentile perimeter D. The talent is obvious, but the turnovers pile up (bottom-tier ball security) and the three-ball wobbles at 32%, so he's a high-variance creator who can tilt a game in either direction.
