3× All-NBA9× All-StarRookie of the Year

One of the most gifted ball-handlers and shotmakers the league has ever seen, a closer who can manufacture a bucket from anywhere. He missed all of 2025-26 working back from a torn ACL, so there's no fresh sample to rate, but at 34 the handle and the in-between game don't depend on much lift — when healthy he's still a top-tier offensive engine.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2024-25). 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.
