- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 61.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
