Capitalized on excellent shot selection to deliver a highly efficient scoring punch, yet still finished slightly in the red. His inability to generate extra possessions or disrupt the passing lanes (+1.1 Hustle) limited his overall influence on the game's momentum. He thrived as a spot-up threat but struggled to impact the margins when the ball wasn't in his hands.

Despite perfect shooting from the floor and solid rim protection, his lack of offensive volume allowed the defense to ignore him in the half-court. Opponents successfully neutralized his impact by pulling him out to the perimeter, exposing his lateral quickness. The resulting breakdown in team defense led to a negative net rating despite his clean individual box score.

Stretched the floor effectively with his outside stroke, but his abysmal rebounding for a center allowed costly second-chance points. Being a step slow on closeouts neutralized his typical rim-protection value, dragging his net score into the negative.
