NBA ROLE: EXPLOSIVE PLAYMAKER

Kevin Porter Jr. has crazy upside on the perimeter; explosive athleticism: uses speed & creativity to shift pass opponents, will boom if there's an inch of room; very talented ball-handler w/ a barrage of hesitation dribble combos - KPJ likes to create off the dribble for himself (step backs, floaters, triples) or make a play for teammates; quick, yet powerful southpaw: tough to sit on/able to get to sweet spots w/ relative ease (can contort his body and weave around defenders for short shots); signature moves: step backs & tomahawks; accurate outside shooter, in the process of merging consistency w/ volume from deep; possesses the physical attributes to succeed defensively, frequently knocks the ball away from primary playmakers: needs to bring an A1 effort while remaining efficient as a scorer; learning to initiate offense as a full-time point guard (on the fly), needs to focus on better efficiency & reacting to different situations; building block Houston, great backcourt duo w/ Jalen Green - investment for the future - KPJ has high potential as a go-to scorer & two-way playmaker
