Strengths

Elite defensive prospect who can defend and all over the floor using his unique length, strength and quickness to keep oppossing scorers at bay. Very good rebounder for a wing (6.1 per game in 26 mpg) who hits the offensive glass pretty hard as part of his makeup as a hustle player (1.8 per game). Is good at creating turnovers in limited minutes (0.7 steals/0.8 blocks). Is a good leaper who excels finishing in transition. Has a ton of upside and has a top notch work ethic which is needed because...Gets to the line with over 3 FTA per game in 26 mpg. Has a solid handle and does not make a ton of mistakes as shown by his career 1.1 turnovers per game.

Weaknesses

He is extremely raw offensively esp. in terms of shooting where he is .464/.167/.689 but does not take a ton of bad shots at least. Again works hard at improving his form and has started flashing a decent looking mid range jump shot He is not much of a facilitator with only 1.7 apg for career. Has struggled staying healthy playing only 195 games out of 246 possible in 3 NBA Seasons.

Notes

1st round (2nd pick) of the 2012 NBA Draft. All Rookie First Team.
