Hardcapped at the 2nd Apron, but worth it IMO

Kind of diappointed. I was hoping for Boucher but still....we need the bench help.

As a Sixers fan we miss him and we wish him well. I expect him to give us the business when we face New York.

Just out of curiosity how would you rate his defense? I see a lot of people excited about his overall skill set but as a Knicks fan I worry about adding another poor defender to Brunson, KAT and now Clarkson. Can he protect the rim or guard the perimeter?

Defense is his weakness. He was pretty bad as a rim protector and isn't that quick, so not the best perimeter defender either. However, he does make some of that up with his hustle.

Absolutely cannot be a rim protector. Showed zero signs of being able to do that.

He's either a no defense but good spacing 5 or a suboptimal offensive 4 who can guard his position pretty well. That's why he was cheap. But he'll play his balls off and you'll love him for it.

Did the Sixer play more zone with him on the court? I'm just trying to figure out how to minimize the negative impact of possibly having 2 of Brunson, Clarkson, KAT or Yabusele on the court most of the time.
