   Not the biggest talent in the world, but a player that can make an impact thanks to his smartness, intensity and leadership... Can post up and shoot the ball from beyond the arc... Especially effective shooting from the corner... Anyway, not quite a scorer... Tenacious defender... Quick hands... Decent rebounder... Great performer under pressure... Mediocre ballhandling skills... Not a great athlete.
