Age entered league as: 23

STRENGTHS: Scoring was a big strength, Dominique averaged 24.8PPG over his 15 year NBA career including a career high 30PPG in his 4th year in the league. Most of his scoring would be from 2PT range and attacking the rim, he had amazing athleticism and could dunk at ease hence the nickname, "The Human Highlight Reel". He also had a solid jumpshot and was always reliable at the free throw line averaging .811% from the line over his career. Rebounding was another strength as he averaged 6.7RPG over his career including a career high 9RPG in the 1990-91 season when he was 31. Wilkins did a great job limiting turnovers over his career only averaging over 3TPG only once.
WEAKNESSES: Three Point Shooting was never really a huge part of his game, although he began to shoot them well in the latter part of his career he was never an elite three point shooter. Also although he limited his turnovers very well given the amount of touches he got in a game, getting assists wasn't a strength averaging 2.5APG over the course of his career, his career high in a season being 3.8APG.
