My Opinion & Ratings

Scoring - 4: Eddie can bury it from deep or take it to the rack.
Passing - 3: He's not paid to hand out the assists, but he can read the floor as well as most point guards in the league.
Rebounding - 3: Averages about four boards a game despite playing on the perimeter.
Defense - 4.5: One of the best defenders in the game. He's been in the Top 10 in steals per game every season he's played.
Shooting - 4: He's got the sweetest touch on the team.
Clutch - 3.5: Eddie always makes things happen, especially when he's driving to the hoop. Remember the move he put on Patrick Ewing? He got Ewing up in the air, drove baseline, jumped around Charles Oakley, and put up a smooth layup from behind the backboard as the clock expired.
