A microwave scorer and elite movement shooter — 38.5% from deep and 89.6% at the line — who shrank into a smaller role across two stops last season, averaging 14.3 a night in 24.9 minutes. The jumper and the handle are real, but he offers nothing on the glass or the defensive end and is now an unrestricted free agent looking for his next deal.

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.
