Orchestrated the offense with solid vision, but his reluctance to attack the paint allowed defenders to cheat into passing lanes. Defensive metrics show he held up well on the perimeter, yet the unit struggled to score efficiently during his shifts. The slight negative score points to a lack of scoring gravity that cramped the floor.
