He runs the court well when he's healthy, he can score from different areas, he's physical and he plays very good defense. We need him to develop a go-to move where at the end of games he can score or get to the line. He is improving his perimeter game as he started shooting 15, 16-footers very well last season. If he can go out to three-point range he can open up the court and the lane for better penetration from the rest of our players."
