Scouting Report

Assets
  • A superb mid-range scorer. 'Rip' is quick and smart and gets separation from his man, burning anyone who overplays him by going hard to the hoop. Hits for high percentages (from the field and freebie line) and is a very good passer.
Flaws
  • Can be streaky from beyond the arc. While a solid on-ball defender he's not a big ball thief or rebounder.
Career Potential
  • All-Star shooting guard.
