NBA ROLE: VETERAN PG
Jose Calderon is one of the more underrated international imports to enter the league in the last 15-20 years; Jose discovered what works best for him early in his career: pass-first PG w/ a strong presence as a distributor + 41% shooter from downtown = winning formula; very good floor general/game commander back in the day – essential to sharp ball movement, recognizes mismatches, gets all of his teammates engaged & involved; excellent set shooter from deep, automatic from the foul line*; doesn't defend much these days; signed w/ Pistons (Summer '18) – Jose adds veteran guard depth for Coach Casey
*once made 87 straight: second-longest streak in NBA history
