He was a late bloomer and I thought of him, I should look up his stats. He actually made decent progression from his 1st year (pretty awful) age 21 to second age 22. Doesn't really work. Got hurt looks like in Denver, then even here for a couple years after he was decent (I never disliked him as a Wolf). Got even better with the Pistons of course shooting some nice 42%+ from 3P. Looks like his 2P numbers were never good, but that was kind of that era too. Kind of a natural progression really if a bit slow though to come around.
Yeah and also he was traded his rookie year and traded to Denver for his 2nd season so he was with 3 teams in his first 2 seasons which is kinda wild. He was actually better his 2nd season for Denver before getting hurt. The injuries were what really derailed his career and why the Wolves were able to sign him cheap.
