We have plenty of vets. Last roster spot to take a shot on a 21 year old? Absolutely.

That said, this is a great use of a minimum contract. Give the kid his first taste of a stable, first class organization. Put him through Bucks university and see what happens. If he’s going to improve anywhere it’ll be after going up against Giannis every day. Would love to see him soak up a ton of minutes with the Herd as well.

Skill set: Is 7-feet tall, has smooth jump shot mechanics
Weaknesses: Everything else

But! Big man that can shoot and do some other fun stuff = an interesting reclamation project nonetheless.

Team oriented 7 footer who moves his feet well, passes well, will get physical boxing out and setting screens. Short arms, too passive/indecisive with the ball and on the glass, hasn't shot well. If Bud can get him playing instead of thinking, still think there could be something there. Has a natural feel.
