Scouting Report
All-round excellent as an offensive point guard: brings a scorer's mentality to the point guard spot yet is also a solid distributor who doesn't turn it over much. Speedy and skilled, makes an effort on 'D,' and is excellent from the free throw line. His lack of size limits him on the defensive end and contributes to a history of durability issues. Streaky, and took awhile reaching his potential at the NBA level. Has leaned more on the 3-pointer with age, resulting in a dropping field goal percentage and even more streakiness.
Long Range Potential: Aging veteran star point guard.
