Position: SF | From: Australia (USA) | Class/YOB: 1998 |
Height: 6’7 | Weight: 200 | Wingspan: 6’10 |
Strengths:
- Aggressive transition player with the athleticism to thrive on the break
- Defensive upside with his size as a wing. Knows how to use length when he is engaged. Playing against grown men this past season forced him to accept a lesser role than he played for most of his life
- Has a scorer’s mentality. Likes to fill it up and look to score when he has the chance. His handle shows flashes to give hope that he will become a useful isolation weapon. His one-dribble pull-up is clean and he can shoot with rhythm from three
- Moves fluidly and effortlessly. Will serve him defensively guarding multiple spots and as a player that can create mismatches on the perimeter
Weaknesses:
- Has some work to do in order to find a defined role offensively. He wants to score, but he isn’t going to be given that freedom from most teams early on
- Skinny for a wing. The hope is that he can fill out eventually
- Doesn’t always defend to his capabilities. He plays with decent energy for the most part and could find playing time as a wing defender and lane filler in transition
- Lack of strength can hinder his slashing playstyle. NBA perimeter defenders will make it difficult for him to finish through the contact
