My Opinion & Ratings

Scoring - 2: He can score when he needs to, but he's more of a traditional point guard - pass first, shoot later.
Passing - 3.5: Looks like he's going to turn out to be one of the best passers in the league.
Rebounding - 2: He doesn't do it much, but he'll bang with the big guys in the paint on occasion.
Defense - 2.5: Derek's an average defender. He's not going to send back a lot of shots at 6'1".
Shooting - 3: He only puts up about one a game, but Derek's a fairly decent 3-point shooter. He hits about 34% of his shots behind the arc.
Clutch - 3.5: His great ballhandling skills make him a threat at the end of the game.
