Strengths
Durable has not missed a game in his first 3 years in the league despite being in the top 10 in minutes every year. Is lightning quick with sneaky good hops. Not super strong ala Russell Westrbook but strong for his thin frame. Has quick hands which have watched his steals improve up to 1.2 per game with some upside in that department. Is a good defensive rebounder (3.2) for his size. Takes (6.7) and makes (.368) a lot of threes but is not afraid to get into the paint and either distribute (6.1 apg) or get to the rim or the line (4.7 FTA). Is a lead guard more than a true PG but is deadly in pick and roll situations. Deadly from mid range and the line (.861). He is a volume scorer who can make the offense stagnate at times (every year in top 10 in FGA). Has consistently improved since getting into the league.
Weaknesses
Tends to get lost defensively although possesses the talent to be a decent defender. Piss poor offensive rebounder (0.5) and depsite some strength is susceptible to getting posted up by bigger/thicker guards. His assist to turnover ratio is subpar for a pg but that is in part because of the number of shots he takes and the amount of time the ball is in his hands so 2.7 turnovers is not bad.
