I really like AJ Lawson, but it looks like our FO wants depth on wings (ie another forwards) AND 3pt shooting.

Man, AJ Lawson just can't catch a break.

In any case, Matt Ryan gives the team nothing defensively, but his ability to catch-and-shoot is worth cultivating in the G-League.

It's almost funny.

But the guy is shooting sub-30% from 3 in well over 30mpg. Just won't cut it.

Not sure Ryan is all that playable but hey, atleast they're trying stuff.

I feel like Ryan could be the 2023-24 Forbes....volume shooter who provides little else but on a dirt-cheap deal.
