The 2024 No. 1 pick, still just 21 and rounding into a 3-and-D role rather than the shot-creator some hoped for. He shot a solid 36.8% from deep and competes on the wing (59th-percentile perimeter D), but the offense is low-usage and the playmaking (10th percentile) is basically nonexistent so far. The frame, age and shooting touch keep the long-term upside alive; on a team option, the Hawks are betting it clicks.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2024-25 → 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.
