A bullish downhill wing who lives in the paint, drawing fouls at a high clip (79th percentile) and finishing inside to score 19.3 a night on a strong 58.5% true shooting. The jumper is still the question — just 34% from three and 72% at the line — and he's a non-factor defensively, but the slashing and connective passing fit Toronto's young core.
