This is a good way to put it. He isn't the keystone player, the franchise. But he's very good at a bunch of stuff. And right now, shooting under 32% from 3, he's right around league-average efficiency, which isn't bad for a second or third option. His D, his rebounding, his passing in transition and on the short roll and stuff? He does a lot. He just isn't a consistent takeover scorer who creates advantage in the halfcourt. But beyond that, he has a ton to contribute, and can fit into the scheme of a title squad.
