Spent time playing on and off the ball for the Wolverines. Did his best work as a set shooter, but also showed the ability to create his own shot off the dribble flashing some versatility and natural talent as a shot-maker.

PlayType Analysis

Scored in a variety of ways as a sophomore. Got 25% of his possessions in the Pick & Roll with another 28% coming on Spot Ups. Scored 0.898 points per Pick & Roll used by the Ball Handler [80 th percentile] and 1.183 points per Spot Up possession [92nd percentile]. Terrific jump shooter with smooth mechanics and soft touch who proved to be very accurate off the catch and off the dribble when he could find space. Three-quarters of his shot attempts in the half court came from the perimeter and they were split evenly between pull-ups and shots off the catch. Oozes confidence casually firing up some very deep jumpers.

Settles for very few mid-range shots. Likes to rise and fire off step back moves or rhythm dribbles from beyond the arc, or take the ball all the way to the rim. Not the most explosive slasher, but is fluid with the ball, has a flashy but functional handle, and is creative inside finding ways to flip the ball in over and around defenders. Scored 1.279 points per shot around the rim in the half court [78 th percentile] and made floaters at a respectable rate as well. Takes what the defense gives him inside.

Shows some ability as a passer, but is still learning to pick and choose his spots on the move. Will thread the needle impressively in spots and does not commit too many turnovers but is not a very prolific playmaker.

Ranked 5th in the Big Ten in Spot Up scoring (4.2 ppg)
