But he's not that great. At 6'8" he's a downright terrible rebounder at the 3/4. His defense is poor. His three-point shooting is merely average (34%) which could be understandable if he was forced to take a bunch of defended threes, but he's shooting 28% when he gets a pass and is wide-open, which is the type of three-point shooting we'd want from him with Luka on the team.

He can do other stuff, but for a forward, we need rebounding, defense, and shooting. He doesn't really do any of that well. We don't need more guys that can't defend, rebound, or even finish when Luka finds them open.
I think he?s better than you give him credit for however the more I think about it, I?m not too upset they didn?t go in for him. He?s RFA in May so if they really want him they can put out an offer sheet.
