NBA Comparison: Gerald Green (less athletic)

Strengths: Shooting guard with good size and length for his position … He is a nice athlete and has a quick and long first step … He is a very aggressive player looking to attack off the dribble and break his defender down … Using a nice mix of moves with the ball, he is able to utilize his first step to get into the paint … Has the athleticism and size to finish at the hoop or draw contact and get to the line … Has a nice outside jumper and is very dangerous from deep … His midrange game is very effective, as he can get into the paint and elevate for a smooth and in rhythm dribble jumper … Operates well without the ball, reading screens and getting himself open … Solid rebounder on both ends … Very unselfish player, looks to make the extra pass and get his teammates involved … Extremely dangerous getting into the passing lanes … 

Weaknesses: One of the most turnover prone players in the nation … Plays out of control and makes extremely poor decisions with the ball … Over penetrates and allows himself to be trapped … Doesn’t have great body strength, allowing stronger defenders to get into his body and turn him out of driving lanes … Volume shooter and a very streaky one as well, he needs a lot of shots to be effective from deep …
