He is a pure shooter from anywhere on the court. Can make pull up jump shots from any range. He has an extremely high release on his shot as well as a quick release. Offensively can create his own shot, and is excellent when coming off of screens and in pick and roll situations. He can make almost any shot of any difficulty. He also runs the court extremely well and is excellent in transition, especially from 3 point line. His body, height and athletic ability is the prototype shooting guard for the NBA. He also possesses a high basketball IQ and can drive and dish to the perimeter with ease. He has great anticipation on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. He is excellent in 2v2 games utilizing the pick and roll. In high school he played the point guard position and is one of the reasons that he can be one of the players who can help the point guard and run the team. Many people who know his game very well compare him to Reggie Miller. At Washington St. he was the top scorer on the team and the coaches and the team did not expect him to work as hard on the defensive end of the ball, even though he has the physical and athletic abilities to do so.
