FROM THE SCOUTING FILE

Legit 6-9 three-level scorer with advanced footwork for creation and real competitiveness. The rare scoring prospect profile. My concern is consistency: too many nights he coasts until the second half, and he still has to prove he can impact winning for 40 minutes, not just take over quarters.
