Scouting Report

Assets
  • One of the greatest pure scorers in NBA history. A premier athlete who can jump over most defenders, but also has the rare focus and form to hit consistently from outside. Capable of beating anyone one-on-one and carrying a team. Also a highly underrated defender, passer, and rebounder. A superstar.
Flaws
  • Off-the-court issues have been a problem at points in his career. In past his ego created problems with teammates and coaches, but he seems to have matured past that. Turnovers have always been an issue.
Career Potential
  • Superstar, perennial All-Star and MVP candidate, and future Hall of Famer.
