He’s looked really good, shooting from deep, off different sets his midrange and he’s shown ability to drive as well with his athleticism and finishing.
Who could have predicted that a dominant college player with an incredibly deep offensive bag and an NBA frame, who worked relentlessly to move through the college ranks, would translate to the league? How do guys like this always get overlooked?
He couldn’t have gotten drafted to a more perfect situation
Those shooting splits are clean. Dude’s balling out, gonna be fun to watch!
His shot is really pure

Sure he’s averaging 21 points, but it’s on awful efficiency (108 points on 98 shots). 48.5 TS%.
those first 3 games don’t even count as summer league, it was part of the california classic.
He looks great man, some players take a huge hit in their 3 pt percentage when they join us tho for some reason lmao, hopefully it doesn’t affect him
He’s gonna get so many open 3s, I think defensively he hasn’t been great tho so it might take him a little while to get rotation minutes
JJ Reddick will definitely know how to use him and he will get plenty of open looks with Lebron’s passing. Couldn’t be a better situation for him to succeed.
Everybody knew this guy was good and they let him slide down to LA in this draft?
