Scouting Report
Underrated, clutch, and uncommonly versatile. He could run the court like a guard and fill the lane with authority, yet also had center-like length to help on the defensive end. He was a solid man-to-man defender and a good, active passer who took care of the ball. Also boasted excellent range beyond the 3-point arc. A lefty. Did everything well but didn't often stand out in any one area. Was capable of hitting big shots but didn't often take over on either end of the floor. Could get posted up by power forwards when lined up against them in small-ball lineups, due to his very thin frame.
Long Range Potential: Star veteran two-way combo forward.
