PLEASE let him play the pick and roll with Dame. Looks to be our best pick-setter since Joel. Seems like he can seal off his man quite well and has both a left and right-handed hook, quick feet, and some BBIQ on both ends of the floor.

Very impressive. Showed some skills I did not know he had like a Right AND Left handed hook shot.
There is only one concern I have about him....health. And he played all 82 games last year. He is a smart player. Sets some nice picks too.

Wow. I had no idea that he had that kind of offensive ability. So looking at the numbers and his game logs it seem to me to be not ability but consistency.

Later in the year when he started to come on a little more it seems like fouls may have been the key. If he stayed out of foul trouble and played 25-30+ minutes then the production was usually there. It also encouraging that he seems to have improved not just from the previous year to last year but also from the start of last year to the end of last year.

Also notice that these numbers were in almost double the minutes and as a starter. I also noticed his PF's per 36 were cut almost in half so his statement about not falling for pump fakes and learning to defending better appear to be true.

All in all Im impressed that we may have gotten a steal and I am now fully on board with this move.

Ya, I would be happy if he got 24 points and 6 blocks a game. Of course that is if he gets at least 10 rebounds a game.
