Scouting Writeup

By ReverseEnigma |

Projected NBA Role

Physical defensive wing who thrives as a cutter, transition scorer, and multi-positional stopper; must develop shooting consistency and cleaner decision-making to unlock complementary 3-and-D upside

Swing Skill

Shooting Consistency & Shot Selection: must reduce midrange reliance and become a more confident, repeatable catch-and-shoot threat from NBA range; On-Ball Decision-Making: improving poise under pressure and passing balance will help him avoid empty drives and elevate role utility; Discipline & Foul Control: cutting down aggressive closeouts and minimizing reach-ins without losing edge; Foot Speed vs Guards: improving lateral agility can help him defend point-of-attack assignments more cleanly

NBA Player Comparisons

Ceiling

Josh Okogie with a smoother shot (elite defender and transition threat who thrives in switch-heavy schemes if shot improves enough to stay on floor)

Median

Naji Marshall lite (tough, versatile utility wing who guards multiple positions and plays with force, though offensive role remains narrow)

Floor

DeAndre’ Bembry (defensive-minded wing with strong physical tools but streaky jumper and limited half-court creation value)
