Durability Concerns due to injury, but was healthy for first 8 seasons missing only 20 total games
Unclear if he is best at PG or SG

Summary:
Fat is a very interesting prospect. An atheltic combo guard best suited for PG, he attacks the paint and has the ability to hit the open 18 foot jumper. Questionable 3pt range. He is one of the best rebounding small guards of all time and takes care of the ball on offensive, although he will probably never be confused with an elite passer. Defensively he is a terror who uses his quick feet and hands to frustrate the opposition and create turnovers.
