A 3-and-D wing who played all 82 games and quietly did the dirty work — 38.1% from three on real volume, 84% at the line, and a 60.9% true shooting on low usage. He takes care of the ball, rebounds well for a wing, and offers positional defense. The kind of cheap, reliable role player every rotation needs.

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.
