Seriously howcome I never see anyone using him? He's the perfect bench player for a stacked team and the best player, in terms of Production V Cost that I can think of.
He's an 86 overall.
He has a 98 dunk, 98 layup, 86 moving mid range.
You know who else has at least 90+ in dunk and layups while also having 85+ in moving mid range?
Michael Jordan (91, 93 and 96 cards).
Kobe Bryant ('06 Onyx)
Tracy McGrady ('03 Onyx)
Clyde Drexler ('91 Ruby)
Ruby KD.
Derrick Rose ('11 Onyx)
The cheapest of those guys is the Glide who costs like 40,000 on PS4 last I checked. The rest of those dudes can run you anything from 100,000 to 700,000.
David Thompson can be bought for 2,000 coins.
Yes he is literally useless at everything other than scoring. But who cares? He's instant offense. With the right badges he's capable of out scoring every other player on that list.
On top of that his shot is cash. I just finished a game where I had 7 money green mid range shots IN A QUARTER. The guy is unreal.
And on top of that despite the crappy 3pt attributes. If you get his shot timing down you can comfortably make catch and shoot 3's with him. I wouldn't try them off the dribble though.
Biggest downside is there isn't any plays you can run for him from what I can see. Maybe I need to try a different playbook? But a quick "get open" and "isolation" work fine for short bursts that you would use him.
Seriously. If you have a spare 2000 sitting there just try the guy out. I can't recommend him enough.
