Summary
With his size, he can play in the interior or on the perimeter. He shoots the ball from the perimeter well, but he will use a pump fake to get you off your feet and get to the rim to dunk the ball. His has the ability to take slower defenders off the dribble or post up smaller defenders and use his footwork to free up space for him in the post. He likes to play on the perimeter but struggles to create seperation or get by defenders, which leads to him taking and missing a lot of bad shots.

Notes
Nike EYBL - Emerson, GA - 4/27/2019
He is a rhythm 3pt shooter. Can put the ball on the floor with bigs on him or take a small down to the post. Can drift at times and not demand the ball.
USA Basketball - Colorado Springs, CO - 7/26-28/2019
Elite skillset can play on the interior or perimeter. Has a nice combo of jab-steps and shot-fakes to get his defender off balance. Can defend multiple positions.
USA Basketball - Colorado Springs, CO - 10/11-13/2019
Nice 1 on 1 block of Evan Mobley in the paint. Runs the floor well. Puts the ball on the floor to create his shot from the 3pt line. He has some nice wiggle to his game. - Hit Evan with a nice mid-range step back from the short corner.
Chick Fil A Classic - Columbia, SC - 12/20-22/2019
Nice drop off pass for an easy dunk. Jockeying for position on the interior. Does the same thing every time stepover rip through drive right. Struggles to create off the dribble and not very polished on the post. Made quick decision driving basket finished with the R layup.
