A 32-year-old glue guy and elite role-player defender — 98th-percentile perimeter defense and a relentless cutter — who across all 82 games hit 38.1% from three on 60.7% true shooting. He won't create his own shot (under-15% usage) but does everything that doesn't show in the box score: defends, finishes, and never turns it over. A perfect low-usage connector and now a free agent.

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.
