Scouting Report

Assets

Flaws
  • Finley doesn't handle the ball particularly well and has had a few injury problems in the past couple of years after being starting every game in each of the four seasons from 1997/98 to 2000/01.
Career Potential
  • Finley is rock solid and as dependable as they come.
