Utah's lead guard and shot-creation engine, a score-first point who put up 23.6 and 6.1 assists with a stellar 89.2% at the line and 37.1% from deep on real volume. He gets to the foul line constantly (92nd percentile) and the scoring package is legit, but he's a turnover-prone, undersized defender who needs to tighten up the other end. Promising 22-year-old.
