Extra Notes:

A highly talented, offensively gifted scorer with elite athleticism, impressive footwork, and the ability to create shots at all three levels. Possesses star-level scoring upside but major consistency, discipline, and defensive-engagement concerns limit overall impact. When locked in, can be a high-level two-way threat, but defensive focus, basketball IQ, spacing awareness, and effort fluctuate heavily.
