Capable and opportunistic are the words that comes to my mind, though it's an opinion formed a while back that hasn't been subjected to any recent critical review. Definitely not the kind of defender that Five-o's boy Avery Bradley is. It's his ability to defend either backcourt position that I'd value more highly. That and his rebounding.
