Scouting Report
A unique player blessed with the length of a center and the skills of a point guard. Was an excellent playmaker and ballhandler with great court vision, capable of filling a point-forward role. Had a calm demeanor and loved to both take and hit big shots in clutch situations. Lacked ideal bulk on his frame and too often hanged out on the perimeter, contributing to middling rebounding and defensive production (as well as durability issues). Was foul-prone. At times in his career, he seemed to lack focus and team commitment.
Long Range Potential: Star point-forward.
