The Bucks will be his seventh team, as he has also had stints with the Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns, Houston Rockets, Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors (in addition to the Bulls). 

His career averages are 13.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists per contest (while shooting 45.9% from the field and 36.1% from the three-point range).
