Scouting Report
Efficient and very well rounded at small forward, he was smart, skilled and patient. Could take over as a scorer for stretches. Was a top athlete who took smart shots and also took care of the ball: he knew when to drive and when to pull up. Also, he was a solid rebounder, passer and defender. Was somewhat injury-prone and streaky. Did not put up the defensive stats (especially in the steals and blocks departments) that he could have. Was generally inconsistent as a go-to scorer: he could explode for two games, then disappear for a lengthy stretch.
Long Range Potential: All-round, solid small forward.
