↵↵↵he can play the point and handle the ball as well as play off the ball and be a scorer. He showcased that range of skills at Kansas City and posted the following numbers in his sophomore season with the Blue Devils: 16.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, three steals and 2.4 turnovers per game. He shot 57 percent from the field, 40 percent from behind the 3-point line (24-of-60) and 77 percent from the free-throw line.
