2025-26: Sixth Man finalist

A veteran sniper who turned in a strong sixth-man campaign — third in Sixth Man voting — as instant offense off Denver's bench. He poured in 13.5 points across all 82 games, drilling 40.7% from three on 62.4% true shooting while almost never turning it over (100th-percentile ball security). At 34 and a free agent, he's a one-way bucket-getter whose value is the jumper.

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.
