For Azubuike, reading up on him most people think he is a SF and not a SG. That would cause more problems with Josh being the SF.
His issues involve foot speed on defense, that's why he guards the bigger swing players, to help keep up. He does sound like Josh in the sense that there is a potential case for a ball-stopper. He lacks the passing ability and his handles aren't that great.
There are positives though. He is lively on the boards and isn't really afraid to muscle up on people. He is better in an uptempo system and can shoot with some fairly decent range. He has definitely made a name for himself coming through the undrafted route.
