A bulldog defensive guard who plays far bigger than his size — top-tier perimeter defense, 1.5 steals, and 4.9 rebounds with real strength on the glass. He'll knock down a corner three (37%) and won't hurt you, making him a useful, low-usage connector and an unrestricted free agent worth keeping around.

Current deal: $6,333,333 cap hit · through '26. On the contract row the flat dashed line is this salary, so the gap to the 2026-27 forecast is the surplus.

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.
