The
best European player in history... One of the most versatile
guys in the league... A matchup nightmare... Puts the ball on
the floor and dribbles like a playmaker, shoots like an off
guard and rebounds like a center... His shooting mechanic is
almost perfect... Can easily shoot over his defender... Will
kill you from the three-point line or driving to the basket...
Has some post game... Plays much more aggressive now... Not
a great defensive player, though. |
