Outlook:
Mike is a tremendous guard who is very quick and athletic and a prolific scorer. He is a pure shooter who shoots at 48% from 3 pt range and over 50% from 2pt range. He is impossible to guard one on one. He is a combo guard, that has great ball handling skills and will penetrate and breakdown the defense, he makes the players around him better, and because of his excellent 3 pt shooting he opens up the inside play for the post players. He is also an excellent defensive player. He averages around 3 steals per game.
