A 6-foot-7 stretch forward whose calling card is the catch-and-shoot jumper — 37.5% from three and 84.3% at the line off the bench. He's a low-usage floor-spacer who takes care of the ball but doesn't do much inside the arc or on the glass. An unrestricted free agent this summer looking to land somewhere that needs movement shooting.

Current deal: through '27. 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.
