Scouting Report

Assets
  • One of the NBA's greatest-ever court leaders. Makes everyone he plays with better. Has uncanny vision and anticipation and superb ball-handling and passing skills. One of the league's most accurate perimeter and free-throw shooters ever.
Flaws
  • More quick than he is fast. Can be posted up on defense and doesn't steal the ball as much as he could / should. Commits a lot of turnovers.
Career Potential
  • MVP point guard & future Hall of Famer.
