To have the offense run through him at higher levels, his decision making will need to improve He will also need to improve bringing out the best of his teammates, leadership Solid form as a shooter but underwhelming results, as he only shot 23.2% from three and 63.2% from the free throw line over the 2017 Nike EYBL
