Scouting Report

Assets
  • An elite all-round player. A leader on and off the court. One of the NBA's greatest-ever rebounders and defenders but also has the skills of a star guard. His quickness and length allow him to guard players of all sizes.
Flaws
  • On offense he sometimes defers to teammates too much. With age his shooting range has declined a bit. Has always been a little turnover-prone.
Career Potential
  • Hall of Famer and perennial All-Star.
