I am curioius as to what you guys think of Barry's game?

Obviously he can shoot, but what about things like (1) defense and (2)ball handling ability? Is Brent good enough to get some limited burn running the point?

in brent's peak season, he averaged 14 points, 1.8 steals, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, 50% fg 42 3pt, and 85% ft. obviously hes a shade of his peak but brent is a capable shooter, average driver, above average ball handling and play making abilities. his defense is not so good. hes a great spark that loves to energize a team. in 05 he and horry were our main role players that helped us to the our championship. hes a great pick up for any contending team including the spurs.

Pros: Great shooter. Great ballhandler. Great passer. Great teammate.

Cons: Poor defender. On the wrong side of 35.

No offense but asking for the scouting report of a guy who has been in the league for 13 years and has won 2 titles is kind of ridiculous. Sorry but I had to say that

Sorry, I just didn't catch much of him in this past injury riddled season. Generally got an idea what he can (or at least could) do, want to know what he's got left at his age.

I was kidding anyway. I just thought it was funny you were asking for a scouting report.

Yeah... has a deadly set jumpshot. Not so good off the dribble. Can play the point at times depending on matchups and an ideal role player who can set up when asked.
