The sample size is kinda small but I have been whelmed by him. I like his energy, but I don’t think we expect to see much of him next year much like this year.
Way way, way too small of a sample size. And a lot of the times we did see him he was thrown to garbage time which is never a good idea to put much thought or energy into evaluating. The last week or so of the season I thought he looked like arguably the best perimeter defender on the entire team. Which was very impressive for a rookie thrown into the deep end, and also a big indication on the sad State of this team defensively as a whole. But I was very happy to see him. Obviously making an impact on that end
His overall grade has to be incomplete. But he showed enough flashes of defense, good positional size, positional flexibility as a whole, and passing that I think the front office will probably prioritize him as a good development piece moving forward
We should expect him to continue to develop in the G league. He gave some good energy in garbage minutes and that’s literally all he did so you can’t really evaluate him.

Everything about his game outside of a jumper looks quite good to me
I love his mentality as a player, he’s strong as hell but still agile, and he’s got real skill as a passer
If the jumper ever comes around we could have something. More likely than not his shooting is always a significant hurdle to him getting minutes though
For a 2nd round pick A+, most dont make it this far. As people have said he is a jumper away from being really good. If he does he will be entrenched in the line up as a 3&d role player.
