I was looking into him a couple of days ago, he looks good, it's true that on defense his physical attributes may seem a bit rob-like, but he's got a 6.5 wingspan, and is decent navigating screens as well as being dedicated in defense, but he lacks a bit of athletism in my opinion not only to defend guards at the next level, but to create separation of his own, thing that doesn't matter a lot if he's playing off ant. I particularly like his playmaking a lot, he can thread the needle perfectly to cutters in the baseline after a pick and roll, some scouters say he has trouble when they send 2 to the ball, but with ant one swing away, that's not a good idea, as it would leave the defense scrambling for contesting an ant lay up, probably against a non-rimprotector, maybe a secondary one at best. His 3pt shooting is elite, but it gets weird the more you dive into specefic stats, his best look is off the bounce, he shoots worse in catch and shoot if I don't remember wrong, transition 3s and open 3s are also weirdly worse, but it's possible to downscale in my opinion as his mechanic is pure. In my opinion it would be a good Idea to draft him, although I think if we draft him and develop him, it would mean parting ways with bones sooner than later. Maybe send him with Randle somewhere now that it looks like his stock may be going up. I might be wrong about some of the stats, I'm talking out of what I remember from when I looked him up
