Honestly, I would have use part of the MLE, kept the 3rd year as an option, just in case he gets his game together to have his bird rights, however, the fact that we didn't (like we did with Richardson and McGruder) indicates we have more to do yet. Good news.
He hasn't shot a three pointer in his career and never really was a 3 point shooter. He has zero offensive skill to be honest. His only good trait is blocking shots.
Mickey had potential to be a good backup but he showed up to training camp last season way out-of-shape after a promising rookie campaign two years ago. I doubt he makes your team, and if he does he probably won't play that much.
With so many players on your team and dozens of draft picks every year, it doesn't surprise me that you don't know your players. You are right about his NBA career, but he has most of his minutes in the G-League. He can shoot 3s. Let's hope he hits them in the NBA, though!
It's worthwhile to mention he hasn't earned himself any minutes while we never were thick in our frontcourt. He hasn't shot an NBA 3 yet so G-League stats are not really things to stare yourself rich on. I hope for him he pans out but I doubt it very much. I think it's more likely he'll be some kinda trade filler? Or big man security?
