Scouting Report
His speed was always an asset, and he was naturally gifted and a constant offensive menace. Was great at changing gears, too. Had soft hands, elusive one-on-one moves and a quick release. Could score goals in bunches. The injury bug was a big problem in slowing down his production over the years. Unfortunately, he did not always play a team game and had issues with his coaches as a result. Could be a game-changing winger at times, but he was also a bit of a high-maintenance forward.
Long Range Potential: Stellar, speedy scoring winger (when healthy).
