Pros:
Solid scorer off the dribble
Fairly good shooter from all over the floor
Excels at scoring on the move
Handles the ball well
Adequate defensive player
Very good athlete
Cons:
Must improve his playmaking skills
Can be too scoring focused on offense
Needs to improve his rebounding

Not a true point guard, but is undersized to play the two

Summary:
Marcus Foster is an athletic, combo guard that can shoot and score the basketball. He will really need to improve his playmaking skills, as he may lack the ability to effectively run the point at this stage due to not possessing great court vision.
But Foster can put up points in a hurry, and he is also a solid athlete that can help his team get stops defensively. With his skill set, he could be a potential second round pick in 2018.
