Scouting Report
A gifted all-round player with excellent skills. Has the size of a power forward and the tools of a shooting guard. Can run the floor, hit the three, and pass like a guard. A smooth, long athlete with excellent coordination (which helps him provide underrated defense). Has been sidelined for major stretches due to injuries, hampering his once-stellar production. For a player his size he spends too much time on the perimeter. Not the defender or rebounder he could be. Injuries and age leave question marks about his ability to play big minutes.
Long Range Potential: Aging swingman with stellar ability (when healthy).
