3× All-Star

A former All-Star wing now deep into the decline phase, splitting 2025-26 between two teams and giving just 10.2 points in 22.8 minutes a night. The midrange touch still flashes — 87.5% from the line, 36% from three — but the burst, the defense (22nd-percentile on the perimeter) and the playmaking have all faded. A free agent looking for one more veteran role.

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.
