Scouting Report
Was one of the NBA's premier ball thieves, and also a gifted natural scorer. Was additionally an unselfish and gifted playmaker who knew how to set his teammates up. Was capable of starting at either guard position and occasionally at small forward. Was highly injury-prone, in part because of a significant lack of bulk on his frame. Took far too many ill-advised outside shots, and lost the ball too often. Doesn't always play up to stellar potential.
Long Range Potential: Talented, streaky combo guard.
