Easily one of the best pure shooters this country has ever produced… has unlimited range… a threat to score once he crosses the halfcourt line… outstanding rebounder for his size… brilliant passer… may be too unselfish at times if that’s possible… better defender than given credit for… moves off the ball better than anyone in the league…
