In 2010, Jonathan Wasserman wrote an article for NBADraft.net.
At 6'4, he has a nice first step and great elevation on his jumper, allowing him to create shots for himself on almost every possession. He excels in isolation situations and can shoot with defenders in his face, needing very little space to get his shot off. His midrange and long range shooting have both become very efficient, as he can shoot off the dribble from inside and behind the three-point line. When he's spotting up, his shooting motion is more controlled and fluid. However, he tends to fade away on his shot instead of going straight up. He becomes frustrated when his defender face-guards him and tries to deny him the ball.
