I'm usually good at dubbing the park players and NBA nickname but I got stuck on this one.

My buddy is the guy that shows up alone but instantly gets picked up. He's the best fourth on a half court 4 on 4. The ultimate teammate.
He doesn't look to score, but can knock down a 3 when open. Always grinds for rebounds. Lacks athleticism but has the hustle. Once he grabs a board he immediately kicks out. He never handles the ball but protects the ball well. In fact never dribbles at all. Solid defender at any position. He's got height but not usually the tallest on court. He LOVES to set picks and does them very well. Great roll off the picks. Very consistent under the basket with good hands. Quiet demeanor on the court. Never gets rattled. Just plays the game.

I can't put a finger on it. I'm usually good with player comparisons but I'm stumped.

hard because most of these hustle type guys have good athleticism and can really leap. I'll just go ed davis with a 3 but no athleticism.

PJ Tucker

"He's got height but not usually the tallest on court" is the only line that would not describe him, but PJ can guard any position. Doesn't handle the ball, scrappy rebounder, is absolutely fine with being Harden's dog and throw it out to him whenever he gets the chance...can hit the 3 but doesn't look to score. not athletic. It's PJ to a T.

Grant too athletic. Ingles looks for his shot

My thoughts leaned towards Thad Young or Aminu

But for the part about quiet demeanor...

Draymond Green

One major difference though is Tucker is intense and can be animated. This kid is emotionless as Kawhi. But skillset wise bang on

Taurean Prince is another. Anyone more familiar with his game and can see the resemblance?
