Scouting Report

Assets
  • Selfless and hard-working, he has developed into a shut-down defender. A capable scorer who favors the perimeter and will occasionally hit big threes. A leader on and off the court, and a winner.
Flaws
  • While a solid athlete, he's not as explosive or fluid as many NBA stars so has to work for what he gets. Offensively he's solid, but doesn't create much off the dribble and could stand to pass the ball more.
Career Potential
  • All-NBA defender at several positions.
