 One of the shortest players in basketball... He has the expected amazing ballhandling skills for a guy his size... Marvelous steals-per-turnover ratio... Excellent one-on-one skills... Excels under pressure... More focused on scoring than distributing the ball... Can play selfish at times... Defense is a real concern... Will be posted up over and over again.
