He looks a bit flat footed on plays, but that may have been a confidence thing, I'm seeing him blow past G League players also, and he clearly has a very good handle, which makes athleticism less of an issue offensively as he can leave defenders flat footed pretty easily. He doesn't have elite athleticism, but I think it's very much in the sneaky athlete tier. Much better athlete than say Brunson coming out of college IMO.
It looks like he has straight line speed but I would argue that Brunson has superior basketball specific athleticism. First step. Change of pace and direction. And as a big RED FLAG. His lateral quickness is a problem.
