Agian, depends on your scale. Is he a mediocre basketball player compared to all of the players in the NBA? No. Absolutely not and I don't really think anybody was saying he was. But he's a mediocre starter. Kind of a part time starter through most of his career. Has talent and can do things, but when he's off he just doesn't have any impact, and his size is a constant problem. He's more than talented enough to have a good game and matter for a night though.
