Scouting Report:
Etherington is a great shooter who does a lot of things well. He can attack off the dribble, extend his range past the 3-point line, and create for others. He's a deceptive athlete, able to throw down a nice array of dunks once he gets a full head of steam. Etherington is also a very good rebounder from the small forward spot, hustling and fighting for lose balls and missed shots. Defensively, his length helps him play solid perimeter defense, and frustrate opponents. One thing that really sticks out about Etherington is his passing ability. He has the smarts and skill to know when to throw passes, often setting up teammates for open baskets.
