He couldn't carry a top team offensively because he wasn't a good enough shooter but he was still a guy who could switch between point guard and small forward, not exactly a easy thing to pull off, and he was very good at getting to the basket.
19-20 points is not chicken feed and when you can switch between offensive ball distributor and small forward, and you're an incredibly versatile and adept defender... you're not just a very good player, you're a great player.
Also, he wasn't just there for two or three years. He was there every year, played every playoff game in those six championship runs. He was Robin, not Batman but he was as good of a Robin as I've seen.
