Interesting pickup, big long, and a really nice stroke, shot over 40% for 2 years in a row. Seems to move really well. Senior, so decently developed already and from a defensive focused coach. Seems like a shot to be a good bench pick up.

small guys who are rookies need time to at least to impact in nba but tall guys typically are easier to make some sort of impact bc oh height against short players especially in this constant switching defense. that height for toronto this year really bothered GSW in the finals when curry or livingston got matched up siakam or ibaka or gasol. not saying being tall is automatic useful players nba aint that easy but it does get them a faster start to make some sort of help for the team. one way or another if you can be versatile, rebound dam hard like rodman, try to contest every shot like mutombo and rim run hard on pick and roll then they maybe just the next hassan although he got worse once he got that 100mil contract. that was a typical example of how earning big money changed the player from being more hungry to jus plain satisfied.
