Scouting Report
Could get very hot from the 3-point arc, and was a superb free-throw shooter. Brought good height, long arms, and a quick release (all of which helped him shoot over defenders). Knew his strengths and excelled as a role player. A positive locker room presence too. Rarely drove to the hoop to keep defenders honest, and was too one-dimensional (relying mostly on the three-pointer). Was streaky as well, and didn't hit many of his 2-point attempts. Also wasn't much of a rebounder or passer.
Long Range Potential: Quality perimeter shooting specialist, and locker room leader.
