What the analysts are saying

• "(The) fact that he can move the D and either hit pull-ups with range or find the open man off a live dribble gives him an NBA skill."
  - Jonathan Givony, ESPN
• "Small stature with mid-tier athleticism and quickness. He makes a ton of tough shots, but at his age, you'd hope he'd create more separation."
