A bouncy combo forward and Charlotte's secondary scorer, good for 17.1 points on a tidy 57% true shooting with rock-solid ball security (90th percentile). He gives you positional rebounding and some playmaking, but the perimeter defense (30th percentile) lags and the three-ball (33.3%) runs hot and cold. A useful, athletic starter rather than a needle-mover.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
