He still needs to hone his ball control and shooting skills (according to Synergy data, his jump shot has an overall shooting percentage of 33.9%), but his valuable college playing experience proves that he has the opportunity to transform into a star in higher-level games: as he can create space more confidently while holding the ball, the combination of his height and explosive power will be the key factor in his success.
Scout's viewpoint: "I can see that he has become more confident when holding the ball... I feel that his shooting is getting better, and he is more confident in his outside shooting. His athletic ability is obvious, and his ball handling breakthroughs and endings are also very strong.
