A steady, springy wing who fills in the cracks — a willing cutter and spot-up option with enough size and effort to switch across a rotation. Nothing leaps off the page, but he's a genuinely useful connector on a deep roster.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
