Outlook:
Michael is a very versatile player that can and has played the positions 2-4. Prefers the 3-4 overseas and the 3-2 in the USA. A very comfortable player that will play any position on the floor to help his team. Michael is a scorer by nature that loves to spot up for the 3 pointer, slash to the basket or finish on the fast break. Michael possesses a great shooting ability with unlimited range. Michael is not a flashy player, he will not beat opposing players with crossover and dribbling moves, but does possess a quick first step and more than gets the job done. Michael loves to post up and use his size against smaller opponents in the paint, moves without the ball extremely well whether coming off screens or getting himself open. Rebounds extremely well and knows how to use his body to get position to get th eball. Not one of the greatest leapers in the game, but possesses athletic abilities with average jumping ability and excellent speed. Michael has always been known to out run every player on the court. Michael possesses good passing skills, exceptional at getting the ball to the post at the right time. Not known for turning the ball over as he is a very under control player. Michael is known as good defensive player, at times throughout his career as one of the best in the leagues that he has played in. Michael possesses the abilities to play most players from the 1-4 positions. Michael is not a selfish player and is always looking to pass the ball first for a better shot. Michael is a quiet player and prefers to let his game do the talking for him rather than his mouth.
