Scouting Report
Assets
An elite all-round player. A leader on and off the court. One of the NBA's greatest-ever rebounders and defenders but also has the skills of a star guard. His quickness and length allow him to guard players of all sizes.
Flaws
On offense he sometimes defers to teammates too much. With age his shooting range has declined a bit. Has always been a little turnover-prone.
Career potential
Hall of Famer and perennial All-Star.
