Current Form & Trajectory

Live Form Index: 35/100. In a confirmed cold stretch — LFI has dropped 7.7 points with the decline showing across multiple production categories, not just shooting variance. This isn't bad luck; something is mechanically or situationally off. Look for minutes reduction, nagging injury, or lineup changes as potential causes.

Scoring & Shot Profile

The three-point shot at 30.2% is functional but inconsistent. Defenses will go under screens and sag off, limiting his ability to collapse the defense as a primary ballhandler. The 41.7% field goal clip is concerning — either the shot diet is too difficult, or finishing/touch needs work. This inefficiency costs the offense roughly 0-1 points of production per game.

Defensive Scouting Report

Functional wing defender who can hold up against most matchups. Not a stopper but won't be a liability. 1.5 SPG and 0.3 BPG.
