Scouting Report
He was a very efficient player in the NBA. Thanks to fantastic instincts, anticipation and fundamentals, he simply made smart plays at both ends of the court. He shot for a high percentage, logged a lot of steals and got his share of rebounds. Rarely turned it over or got into foul trouble. While an exceptionally well-rounded and efficient forward, he did not pass the ball enough and was not a take-charge scorer. Was not particularly explosive. Injuries were a major factor throughout his NBA career and caused him to retire prematurely.
Long Range Potential: Complementary forward (when healthy).
