A 34-year-old pro's pro entering free agency, still spacing the floor at a 38.8% clip from three on a tidy 60.8% true shooting in a reduced 26-minute role. He doesn't rebound or protect the rim, but the catch-and-shoot stroke, low turnovers, and veteran calm make him an easy plug-and-play forward for a contender.

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.
