Profilo

'Ala che crea mismatches in ogni parte del campo. Ha grande taglia fisica e grande atletismo per essere un giocatore interno ed esterno. Veloce e abile nel trattamento di palla per segnare in penetrazione ed essere efficace al tiro da fuori. Eccellente giocatore in situazioni di contropiede. Nella stagione 15/16 ha migliorato la percentuale al tiro da 3, tirando con il 45% nella Lega Lettone. Difensivamente forte e agile negli spostamenti laterali e potenzialmente, grazie alle sue doti fisiche e atletiche, difende su ali e pivot a ogni livello. Conosce e capisce il gioco e viene riconosciuto come un uomo squadra. I suoi progressi nelle ultime due stagioni lo hanno portato a essere eletto MVP delle Finali di Lega Lettone nel 2015.
