Scouting Report
A rare talent who brought the skills of a guard, the athleticism of a small forward, and the length and defense of a center. Dominant as a rebounder. Passed the ball well, scored well when needed, and (when focused) did the little things to win. Could excel at several different positions. Significant off-court issues derailed his carrer. Also, he was somewhat inconsistent year-to-year. Could have taken over as a scorer more often, and he occasionally disappeared offensively. Free throw shooting was always mediocre.
Long Range Potential: Underrated star forward (when focused).
