Strengths:

Great shooting stroke. Season impressive 48% for 3 points. Can score from standstill or once he relocates. Good spot up shooter. Can make pull up jumpers. Scores pull ups out of Pick and Roll game. Pulls it up either hand. Pretty at planting his pull up jumpers. Can equally good score mid range and deep range pull up jumpers.

Can attack closeouts thanks to spot up being spot up shooting threat.  Has solid touch on floaters and runners. Can score some around the rim but need space for it. At times can use his speed and attack the basket but feels more comfortable playing on perimeter.

 

Solid court vision. Can operate from pick and roll. Locates open teammates out of pick and roll. Best at breaking the defense and dishing to roll man. Can probe and kick. Pass it ahead in transition. Pretty unselfish player plays for the team.

Pesky defender. Really puts effort in D. Will pick up the ball on full court. Puts the pressure. Works hard to avoid on ball screens. Has good footwork and foot speed. Can force turnovers. Has solid anticipation. Runs hard on closeouts. Can cover the ground.

Weaknesses: 

Overall he stays in his role and does mostly what he is good at. Anyhow not best finisher around the rim. Has speed to break defense and finish but not explosive and strong finisher around the rim. Not ISO type of point guard. Doesn’t break the D and creates much.

 

A bit turnover prone vs pressure. Not best step beck pull up jumper, better in planting and pulling it up compare to step back Js.

Good defender with good footwork just doesn’t alter much jumpers. Size doesn’t help him to have better defensive impact. Can get scored on even after he played pretty good D. due lack of size and ability to contest.
