2024-25: Sixth Man finalist

A crafty combo guard and microwave bench scorer with a sneaky-good midrange game and real shotmaking. He didn't log a 2025-26 sample here, but he's coming off a breakout that made him one of the better second-unit creators in the league — a steady ballhandler who keeps the offense flowing.

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.
