A movement shooting specialist who does exactly one thing very well and does it cleanly — 39.2% from three on 59.8% true shooting with elite ball security (97th percentile). He's not going to rebound, create, or anchor a defense, but as a low-mistake floor-spacer off the bench he has a clear NBA niche. Now a free agent.

Current deal: $6,000,000 cap hit · through '30. 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.
