Scouting Report
Was blessed with great speed, so he could catch defenders off guard by blazing right by them. Had natural goal-scoring ability, highlighted by a deadly shot and good size. Also owned decent defensive acumen. Could play wing and center. Suffered through bouts of inconsistency on offense (especially in the playoffs), which made him somewhat streaky. Did not take full advantage of his size, and did not always play with the intensity and grit needed to be at his best.
Long Range Potential: Excellent, versatile and durable scoring forward.
