I think he's a lot like Avery Bradley.

Avery Bradley is an AWFUL NBA player. Gary Payton is better than he and its not close. Outside of 1 good year 5 years ago, Bradley has been Awful offensively and somewhere between bad to average defensively.

Bradley in his prime, back with Boston, was a very good defender. He gave Wall and Beal fits back in the day. He's also a 6-3 guard who isn't really a PG, like Payton. And he has a suspect outside shot.
