Scouting Report
Played shutdown defense and could stifle opposing point guards, shooting guards and small forwards. Was smart and highly efficient in all aspects of the game of basketball, and he made very few mistakes as a passer, shooter or defender. Could hit the open three. Hustled constantly and was an unselfish, team-first player. Did not create his own shot very actively and too often deferred to his teammates. Could be a bit overzealous sometimes on defense. Lacked optimum rebounding chops, especially considering his defense-first style. Injuries really caught up to him later in his NBA career.
Long Range Potential: Excellent defensive stopper and versatile wing.
