He uses his length and twitchy hips really effectively in order to create space. He's in contention to be the best shooter in the 2025 NBA Draft. His athleticism was also very apparent. He had this one thunderous dunk during a live-game situation drill that really stood out. He's a threat in transition and is constantly looking to push the pace.
