Scouting Report
He was a pretty complete player: a star scorer, a good defender and rebounder, an active passer, and a superb free-throw shooter. Versatile, and he played bigger than his height. Provided a settling influence on the court and in the locker room, and showed excellent hustle and intensity. Injuries were a significant issue in his career. Additionally, he committed his share of turnovers, and wasn't a great three-point shooter despite his tendency to take a lot of attempts from the arc.
Long Range Potential: Star swingman and locker room leader.
