A
Did what needed to be done when he was called upon. Going from a benchwarmer to a 16pt starting performance brought back warm memories of his previous stay in Toronto. He may not be a legend, but he's always been reliable and consistant, and a fairly smart player too.

B+
Got fewer minutes than he deserved, presumably because of his foot speed and our fairytale 'help' defense. Nonetheless, was effective defensively against less mobile bigs, showed he is still a good passer, understands spacing on both ends of the court and can hit the 15 footer.

On the downside: Tended to collect fouls early and often, probably due to rust. Runs like a steampunk golem that's locked in 'breakdance' mode.

He is like an old good car, it takes you from point A to point B, no GPS, no ABS, no sudden acceleration and so on! That's why he gets a C+ from me.
