Scoring/Shooting: 

Adept jump shooter with unlimited range. Prefers 15'-18' though can be expected to shoot .375+ from outside. Can beat any center in the league off the dribble, as well as most 4's, when motivated. Developing repertoire of post moves, but still overmatched by elite defenders.

Rebounding: 

Good length, but poor rebounder for his size due to lack of desire. Because of jump shooting tendency, rarely on offensive boards. Does not consistently display the will to fight in the trenches.

Passing/Ballhandling: 

Competent in passing out of double teams. Because he is the primary option on his team, rarely creates for mates on the floor. Good ball handler for a big man, and shows flashes of considerable creativity off the dribble.

Intangibles: 

Is a willing shooter in the clutch, and is not afraid to take the 'big shot'. Needs to utilize his ability to beat defenders on the floor more frequently instead of relying on the 18 footer. Not a strong help defender, and can occasionally look lost on D. Needs to work on strength and desire to increase defensive contributions.

Synopsis: 

A 3 born in a 5's body. Good offensive polish with a deft shooting touch and a quick first step to the bucket. Has the tools to be a perrenial All-Star. Needs to work on defense/rebounding, and show greater fight, commitment, and passion in his own end.
