Scouting Report
An intelligent player who knew the game inside and out. Gritty, and played bigger than his size. Worked hard to get high-percentage shots, and was a dependable mid-range shooter and clutch rebounder. Led by example. Had significant injury problems during his career. Was good at a lot of things but didn't stand out in any area. Particularly wasn't a top man-to-man defender, and wasn't much of a passer either.
Long Range Potential: Quality scoring sixth man.
