Scouting Report
An accomplished leader and clutch winner, he excelled at breaking defenders down one on one. Lightning fast, he was highly skilled (with good playmaking ability overall). Brought deceptive leaping ability for both finishing the break and for rebounds. Limited his turnovers, too, and hit high-pressure shots. He was a hard worker who drew charges. Was not quite a true pass-first point guard and was small overall for the NBA backcourt (limiting him defensively one on one). Was not always effective at getting into the lane and converting a great number of high-percentage buckets.
Long Range Potential: Underrated star point guard.
