Colby is a pure shooter. He fills the basket up in a hurry if left open. But the problem is, he hasn’t been left open, and doesn’t really have the tools to get open on his own.
When he shot isn’t falling, he’s found it tough to stay on the floor. Opposing guards know to stick to him around the 3-point line, as he has little other threat to him. He’s only an average passer and never attempted to slash to the basket. He’s also shown himself to be liability on defense at times, allowing opposing guards to dribble past him, and cause the rest of his team problems.
If he can get some open shots and some confidence, Leifson can be a deadly 3-point specialist. He’s just not there yet.
