Yikes.
My biggest concern with him is that he really wants to be a ball-handler. I really can't imagine how he and Nash are going to function on the floor at the same time. Especially if Phoenix is wanting to use him as a PF, as I've read here and there. He's not very effective in post-up situations.

That said, he's proven himself a clutch playoff performer, his defense is slightly above average (at least for Toronto, and probably for Phoenix), and when he actually competes hard, he's the sort of guy who can have a massive impact on the game and can fill up a stat sheet in a hurry. I wouldn't put too much stock in Raptors fan opinions, as we just hated the guy for reasons that extend beyond basketball.
