Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 11.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 65.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
