Strengths

Super athletic Forward who is versatile enough to play both forward spots, using his quickness and solid jumpshot vs bigger forwards and his strength and jumping ability to overpower smaller wings. Due to taking the majority of shots within 15 feet is 73rd all time at .514 from the field. Not afraid of contact went to the foul line over 4500 times in 851 games which is good for 100th all time, shooting .737 from the line. His quickness and leaping ability allowed him to average both 1.1 steals and blocks per 36 minutes during his career and to be a decent although not great defender both inside and outside. Despite playing mainly SF averaged 7.4 rpg per 36 minutes so he is aggressive on the glass and can find the open man with 3.2 assists/36min for career. Very good scoring averaging over 20ppg 4 times in his career.

Weaknesses

No real three point ability .091 for career but only attempts one ever 5th game. Really struggles with turnovers averaging 3.5 per36 minutes for his career. Primarily played as a third forward off the bench or spot starter during his career which led to only averaging 28mpg for his career. There is a sense that he never quite fulfilled his vast potential for more than a year at a time. Missed a lot of games due to injury, playing 80 plus games only once in his career.

Notes

Cousin of Willis Reed. 6th pick of 1981 draft.
