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."
- Kevin O'Connor, The Ringer
