1. has great handles for someone his size. deeper bag than lauri or patrick as a summer league rookie (drag step, handles between his legs/behind his back) – this also allows him to play like a jumbo SF (wagner/ banchero) rather than a tweener (lauri) 2. shot isn’t falling but his form is good. he needs reps 3. aggressive driving and doesn’t shy from contact leading to drawing freethrows (shows he can get his if his shot isn’t falling unlike patrick, lauri, or even zach tbh) 4. needs to gain weight. not 40 lbs but more like 15 so he can keep playing the way he wants to play without getting bodied on the boards
but also this is summer league so take it with multiple grains of salt. I saw good things tho

I know it was a two minute clip, but his handles surprised me

He went 4-15 and 0-4 from 3. He was also a -2 in a game his team won by 7.
Not a good debut. Doesn’t really mean much obviously but you’d like to see him shoot well at least in one of these Summer League games.
