A high-flying, high-usage shotmaker who took on a featured scoring role — 20.8 points on a 30.5% usage rate, second on the team. The flashes are tantalizing, but the efficiency lagged the volume (54.6% true shooting, 33.7% from three) and the playmaking and decision-making are still developing. At 23 and locked up through 2030, Portland is betting the polish catches up to the athleticism.
