NBA ROLE: EXPLOSIVE, SCORING POINT

 

Gilbert Arenas aka “Agent Zero”: relentless, scoring point w/ a dominant disposition offensively; Wizards great, former Undisputed Franchise Player: 3x All-Star from ‘05-’07 - avg. a career-high 29.3 points in ‘06-’07; good distributor w/ a penchant for finding bigs and shooters via drive & kick action; advancing ball-handler w/ a powerful frame and lethal instincts from all three areas on the floor: Arenas specialized in pull-up midrangers & threes (1v1 or when aided by a screen), step backs, and driving lays (underrated finisher around the rim); DEEP range (never needed much separation to cash), nearly impossible to contain once momentum picks up - would often score in bunches, turning the tide of a game or closing the show; one of the best closers of the mid-late ‘00s: Arenas’s game-winning trey —> walkaway (celebration) is etched in the minds of a generation of hoops fans; one of the most significant examples of a player who developed into a bonafide star after landing on a new team early in their career (Golden State —> Washington; won Most Improved Player in ‘03); legacy as a dynamic scorer w/ a unique style - one of pioneers/early examples of the new wave of special bucket-getters at lead guard: Arenas’s game continues to age well with each, successive generation

Career: 20.7 points/game, 5.3 assists/game, 3.9 rebounds/game
