Here's an [URL='http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Quincy-Guerrier-98907/']old scouting report I found on Guerrier[/URL] from 2017 that echoes some stuff I said above from DraftExpress. I dropped some highlights below if you can't click the link. I think his shooting mechanics have improved since this was written, though I'd personally like to see his release get a little quicker and he still shoots with his elbow out. I think he's closer to just needing some small adjustments rather than a complete rebuild. Not sure where he was in 2017 as a playmaker, but there's still a lot of room to improve in that department.

Strengths: 
-Excellent physical profile for an NBA wing prospect. 6'6 with a 6'10 wingspan. Nice frame that will fill out well in time. Wide shoulders. Proportionate upper and lower body. 
-Fluid athlete who can play above the rim in space. Fills the lanes in transition. Quick first step. Moves really well overall. 
-Good straight line slasher thanks to his athleticism and stride length.

Weaknesses: 
-Overall skill level a work in progress. Limited to mostly transition finishes and straight line drives at this stage. -Shooting mechanics leave much to be desired. Staggered feet, elbow out, forward jumper. Not the most natural stroke. 
-Not going to create much offense in the half court. Handle is a bit raw versus pressure. Not comfortable pulling up off the dribble. 
-Finesse as a finisher has room to improve. Relies more on tools.
