A veteran change-of-pace lead guard brought in to run the second unit — 88th-percentile playmaking with 4.9 assists in 24 minutes a night. The scoring efficiency dipped to 10.8 points on 52.6% true shooting with shaky decision-making, and he doesn't offer much on the defensive end, but he keeps the offense organized when the starters rest.
