Overview: A veteran guard who has seen his consistency on the offensive end diminish over time. Decent size for the point guard position. More tenacious than strong. Shows passable foot speed, but isnt explosive enough to do much around the rim. Makes a living with steady point guard play. Has never been a dynamic player on either end, but could provide steady minutes when asked to. Plays smart, and is a tremendous presence in the locker room, which has allowed him to maximize the limited skills that he does possess. Had a largely undistinguished career at UCONN. Deferred to the players around him throughout his career. Brings a nice veteran presence to as a spot player and off the court.
Offense: Gets most of his offense as a spot up shooter, but doesnt have the skill to be featured in most sets. Not a very effective offensive player. Displays a mediocre jumper, and lacks range and the ability to create space. Doesnt have the size to attack off the dribble and pull up since he doesnt get much separation with his first step. Not a good finisher at the rim due to his lack of athleticism and strength. Functional as a point guard. Not a creator, but seldom turns the ball over. Average ball handler and passer. Plays smart, which is all that can be asked of a player with his skills.
Defense: A very sound defender who lacks the athleticism to be a difference maker. Isnt quick enough to always stay in front of drivers. Not tall enough to contest shots out on the perimeter with any sort of effectiveness. Never gets caught out of position on his rotations. Very smart and experienced. Isnt going to bring much to the table in term of rebounding. Plays with great intensity and effort. Not a game changer, but the type of player that gives his all despite his lack of great assets.
