Scouting Report
He was gritty and intense, and always hustling (especially on defense). An energetic athlete who provided a spark in whatever role he played, and was an especially strong defender. Had good hands and took care of the ball. Could score in spurts, and showed some clutch ability. All business on the court. Erratic at times offensively, and he launched too readily from the arc for a player who didn't usually hit a high percentage of threes. Foul-prone, and sometimes his intensity boiled over. Somewhat injury-prone too (in part due to his physical style).
Long Range Potential: High-energy, defense-first vet regular at small forward.
