A
backcourt player with great leadership qualities and the ability to
dominate a game. Known as a
deadly marksman behind the arc he also can take the ball to the
basket and score. A fearless competitor he comes to play every
practice and every game. Played the position of a scoring point
in his college system but understands and switches easily into a
role if need be. Moves well without the ball and can always
find an open position to spot up for a 3pt shot. Has a great
feel for the game and a keen sense of 'when' to deliver to
teammates. Is a very capable rebounder and has a knack for always being in the right place
at the right time. He can stuff the stat sheet and will
generate great offensive numbers personally and for the team.
One thing that he has also shown on the international market is that
he is one of the best defenders in the game today.
