Scouting Report
Solidly skilled, smart, and smooth on the wing. Has a lot of nice moves with and without the ball and displays good instincts for making plays. Finds a way to score, and doesn't make many mistakes. Deceptively athletic and still has room to improve despite advancing age. Lacks explosive athletic ability and isn't a physical force on the court. Hasn't shown a lot of take-charge aggressiveness despite advancing age and experience. Will have some defensive issues in the NBA due to his middling speed.
Long Range Potential: Well-sized shooting guard with a good hoops IQ.
