he plays well with what he has, but he doesn't have much. he is not an athlete. he is a mouse among men when he drives to the bucket, although he does appear to be an excellent passer. his drill shooting is solid, but his game form is piss poor. he pushes the shot and extends himself far too much toward the basket. that's not surprising, considering that he has no muscle. certainly, a 5-star ranking is generous. though his numbers were good, you can tell that he was playing very hard. such tenacity is respectable; however, he was playing at or very near his ceiling.
edit: okay... "piss poor" is a bit of an exaggeration, but his last two shots were not in good form at all. he appears to be a high-energy player, and every team needs one of these guys.
