Torched the nets with elite shot preparation, punishing late closeouts with a barrage of highly efficient perimeter daggers. His off-ball movement constantly scrambled the opposing defense and created wide-open looks. This relentless floor-spacing was the primary engine behind his strong positive rating.

A heavy reliance on contested mid-range pull-ups dragged down his overall efficiency and stalled the offensive flow. While he found ways to manufacture points, the high volume of empty trips negated his overall production. Solid rotational defense kept him near neutral, but the shot selection left much to be desired.

He showed improved touch on his limited attempts, but struggled to contain dribble penetration on the other end.
