A heavy reliance on contested perimeter jumpers dragged down his efficiency and ultimately resulted in a negative floor impact. While his aggressive downhill passing generated some positive momentum, bricking the vast majority of his outside attempts frequently bailed out the opposing defense. The sheer volume of empty outside looks outweighed his playmaking contributions.
