A veteran defensive guard and spot-up shooter splitting 2025-26 between two teams and now a free agent. He still pesters at the point of attack (75th-percentile perimeter D) and hits enough threes (36.3%) to be a low-usage connector, but at 30 with a -1.1 BPM he's a 16-minute specialist, not a featured piece.
