Use if: You want an absolutely cheesy sharpshooter and nothing elseĭon't use if: You want somebody more well-rounded on both sides of the ballīottom Line: Very fun card and maybe my favorite shooter I've bought this year. Recommended Strategy: 3point plays, pick and fade, shoot behind screens You won't be burning anybody unless he has takeover or you're a dribble gawd. Speed: Kinda slow with the ball in his hands for some reason.Rebounding: Obviously terrible here, but he's a 6'6 SG so wattaya gonna do?.Weak, not too big, and will get blown by a lot. Defense: Definitely a poor defensive card at this point in a game.Slashing: Has Slasher takeover and can get some nice dunks if he has a lane to the hoop.

Oh, and he really has that HoF Limitless, he's not like some cards where the badge doesn't do much. Really amazing shooter off the catch and off the dribble, can't really go wrong with his stats and a release like that. He's shooting almost 60% from me off of mostly only 3-point attempts every game. His release is butter and he comes with all the great HoF shooting badges (except for Difficult Shots, which is annoying).

Shooting: This card is a goddamn SNIPER.
