Pros

    Excellent when playing downhill. Looks like he’s shot out of a cannon and brings every square inch with him
  • Hip Turns
    Fluid mover who can zone or speed turn to close cushions and cancel potential passing windows
  • FBI
    Instinctual player who has also received high-level coaching. Evident in his play recognition

Cons

    Questions himself at times almost getting lost in space while playing a tick behind
  • Pursuit angles
    Aggression can cause him to over-pursue or fail to wrap up at the point of contact
  • Coverage technique
    Could use some better press technique in terms of hand usage and footwork when playing the nickel
