Playmaking Scorer — 7.1 assists a night, shooting well clear of the league (88.7% True Shooting), across 142 games at 66–76. He takes a normal share of the offense and shoots most of what he touches, and the live grade sits at A.
The purest shooter in the building and it is not close: 74.2% from three on 4.1 a night, 1st of 32 — the man went 10-of-10 from deep for 52 in Game 181 and it barely felt like news. He brings a whole offense by himself: 19.5 points, 7.1 assists, 2.1 steals, 88.7% True Shooting, 26 Player of the Game awards, fourth all-time in points and third in assists. Now the part he won't like. The scoreboard moves −2.9 a game with him on it and the record sits at 66–76; his teammates shoot 66.0% beside him against 68.5% everywhere else, 3rd-worst in the league. And the swing on his sheet is the ball: one turnover or fewer and his teams are 38–16 (70%); two or more and it is 28–60. Also, jspalt4 is 24–6 against him, which is a real problem when the whole league knows it. Verdict: an A-list talent whose teams keep finishing B. Season X hardware: First Team All-Association and First Team All-Defense.
The men he has played beside longest, the one he wins with, the one who has his number — and the one he keeps losing with.

Everything he has done across 142 games. The Current Form tab carries the last 10.
Around 39% of his shots are threes, and nearly half his makes are dunks — he lives at the rim and behind the arc with little in between. He keeps 65% of what he touches, about the middle of the league.
Points per game says how much. These say how — and they are the whole difference between two men with identical scoring lines.
