Like, he's a very very good defender, and a high level passer with good vision and passing IQ. Possibly a top 5 defensive guard, and probably a top 10 passer in the league.
On the other hand, he's one the the absolute worst scorers in the league from basically everywhere on the floor, including from the FT line where he's one of the worst in NBA history, and cannot create a shot for himself to save his life. Absolutely ranks in the bottom 10% of the league as a scorer.
That gap is huge. It's weird.
