Pickpocket Playmaker — 13.5 points a night, shooting well clear of the league (88.0% True Shooting), across 18 games at 8–10. He takes a normal share of the offense and shoots most of what he touches, and the live grade sits at B.
18 games in, and already the pickpocket of the league — 2.4 steals a night, 2nd of 32, hands like a customs officer. He plays the right way: 4.6 assists to 1.6 turnovers, a 67% keep rate, 67.5% from three on 4.4 attempts, 88.0% True Shooting. Game 091 was the résumé: 16 points, 13 assists, a 49 PRF and Player of the Game. The honest bit is that we haven't seen enough of him, and what we have seen splits hard — 29 PRF in his wins, 22 in his losses, one of the steepest drops in the league. Get him thirty games and this could be an All-Defense argument. Right now he is the best-kept secret on the roster.
The men he has played beside longest, the one he wins with, the one who has his number — and the one he keeps losing with.

Everything he has done across 18 games. The Current Form tab carries the last 10.
More than half his shots are threes, and he rarely finishes at the rim. He keeps 67% of what he touches, about the middle of the league.
Points per game says how much. These say how — and they are the whole difference between two men with identical scoring lines.
