Scouting Report
Few players in the NBA brought his mix of raw quickness and shooting stroke. Really motored in the open court and either finished strongly with a layup or pulled up for a fundamentally-sound 3-pointer. Had a great wingspan that helped him shoot over defenders and poach steals. Was quite streaky and prone to injury. Was not a very productive passer for a guy with a point guard's size. Never fully developed his mid-range game, which might have made him an elite scorer. Was also not much of a rebounder.
Long Range Potential: Streaky, quality backup scoring combo guard.
