Really turnover prone. Averaged 2.7 TOV per game in VTB league and had 2.5 in LNB. Makes unforced mistakes. Loves to make home run passes instead of simple plays. At times can really have casual approach. Forces passes to the big guy during P&R game. Not best ISO player, can be bother by length during ISO jumpers. Inconsistent right hand pull up jumpers. Doesn’t like physical game. Plays in his own pace. Doesn’t respond well vs pressure and vs contact. Average finisher around the rim vs size and physicality. Poor left hand finisher.
