With our cap situation and front court depth being a big issue, it would be a nice help if Olshey is able to identify which one of these late 1st round bigs has the best chance to contribute something right away.
My pick is still Motley, and even though he's a freshman, Bam might be another guy--physically ready, low TO%, fairly low foul rate--but he's so similar to Vonleh as far as their strengths and weaknesses, I don't know if that's the best use of resources.
The biggest thing with Motley is that he's a guy who's a dynamic threat out of pnr situations. He can pass, dribble, shoot and finish (although he struggles a bit w/ contact) which I think is the biggest thing this team should be looking for in a big considering how much attention Dame and CJ draw in those situations.
Dame talked after last night how nice it's been to have a guy like Nurkic who he can drop it to and trust that he can make a positive play (while also being a threat to score) and I think Motley has a chance to be another guy like that, plus he has combo of size along with fluid athleticism to maybe play a little with Nurk against traditional 2-big lineups.
