7-12 FG, 7-9 three-point
Outlook: Felix is terrific rhythm shooter, particularly on the catch and shoot. He can spot-up from anywhere on the court for a quick 3-pointer. 75% of his attempts are jumpers, and I’d estimate that 85% of those jumpers are released within one or two dribbles.
So yes, Felix is a good shooter who can score in bunches. But he’s undersized for a shooting guard (6-2), and lacks the athleticism to compete on the NBA level. He has yet to show the ability to be a primary playmaker, instead opting for a shoot-first mentality. He’s a capable but not particularly efficient shooter (34% from the field on 3-pointers), and not a great assist rate this season. If Felix can become a more efficient shooter—and more importantly, a better facilitator—we can revisit him as an NBA prospect. But he won’t make it as a 6-2 “gunner.”
