**Signature Strengths Tell the Story**
Peeler's calling card was pure shooting—that 37% three-point percentage made him a legitimate floor-spacer who could punish defenses.

Claxton was the better facilitator and defender, but basketball ultimately rewards efficient scoring.
**The Verdict is Clear**
