A super-savvy, creative and pass-first distributor, he piled up assists. Pushed the ball up the court relentlessly, broke down defenses and made his teammates better. Was one of the fastest players in the NBA. Racked up steals and keyed the fast break. Could out-jump most opponents and was a superb rebounder for his size. Turnovers were his big issue. Also, he was not a take-charge scorer, and the half-court game was a challenge for him (his shooting stroke lacked consistency). Struggled at the free-throw line. | |
