Scouting Report
Quietly was one of the most well-rounded players on the planet. A dominant help defender and a versatile offensive force: could play point-forward, hit the 3-pointer, and dominate on 'D.' Incredibly long and athletic, and highly instinctive. Brought uncanny anticipation and timing. Unselfish & hard-working. Streaky: filled the stat sheet some games and disappeared in others. Didn't have a lot of bulk on his wiry frame, which may have contributed to his lack of durability. Sometimes struggled to create his own shot. Over the years he butted heads with some brass about his role.
Long Range Potential: Streaky star do-it-all combo forward.
