Scouting Report
'The Custodian' lived up to his nickname by constantly doing the dirty work for his teams. A quietly polished all-round player: passed the ball well, had good shooting range, and could score solidly when needed. A leader in the locker room. Wasn't a top-tier athlete, and was somewhat injury-prone. Good in several areas on the court, but wasn't great in any. With age he became less able to get high-percentage buckets. Was somewhat inconsistent and streaky throughout his career.
Long Range Potential: Veteran depth forward & good locker-room presence.
