A ROY runner-up
A polished rookie sharpshooter who hit the ground running — 18.5 points on a sparkling 63.3% true shooting with a gorgeous stroke (42.5% from three, 86th-percentile scoring) en route to a runner-up Rookie of the Year finish. He plays bigger than a pure shooter with some secondary playmaking; the defense (29th percentile) is the lone area to firm up. A real foundational piece on a cheap deal.
