CHU Draft Analysis: As physically gifted a prospect as there is. An exciting package of athleticism wrapped in a made-for-NBA body. Criticized for being a selfish player, but may be a case of knowing he is a supreme player who just needs experience with other talented players.
A pure scorer who gets his own shot with an explosive first step and ability to finish above the rim. Scores off the dribble and a capable, but streaky shooter who needs to push range beyond the arc. Sees the floor well and has good feel for running the offense in short spurts. Needs to cut down on turnovers, which should come with time.
Uses size, strength, length and quickness to be a dominant wing defender. Is guilty of mental lapses and gambling, but gets hands on a lot of balls. Also a capable rebounder.
Has a few areas to work on as a teammate, but is young and extremely talented. None other than Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant had similar question marks.
