He's a solid bench piece. 7'1" wingspan, 6'8" height, big ole booty a la Mason, and hits the three's at at 38% clip. Hustle player. Defense might not be on Precious' level but the ability to spread the floor and his muscle down low is going to help.

Suddenly, we got one of the better benches in the NBA, folks! Yabu, Hart, Deuce, Clarkson is sick.

Seems like BPA for the tax MLE.

Clarkson is an upgrade for the veteran minimum.

Brunson/Bridges/Anunoby/Towns/Robinson
Clarkson/McBride/Hart/Yabusele
Kolek/Dadiet/Hukporti

Still two more minimum slots to round out the roster.

We wanted him last year. When we faced Sixers didn’t do anything. I’ll reserve my thoughts.

he had a really strong year last year. Very efficient offense, really strong offensive rebounder, and solid passer for a big man.

Can play some small ball 5 but because he can shoot a little can certainly play some 4 as well.

Defense is suspect, but he gives us offense off the bench. I guess I can't complain too much for the MLE.

How the **** is it possible for the Bucks to get Turner with zero cap room?

He's the ideal big man to play alongside of KAT because of his offense, but we can't play them together due to his lack of defense as well. I guess that just means Mitch is starting.

I guess I can't be too mad. The bench is looking solid

Deuce
Clarkson
Hart
Yabusele

Suddenly we just got deep.

This is a great signing.


He can play the smallball 5, and despite his size he can defend a lot of smaller 4s which means you can start him.

Brunson/Clarkson
Mikal / Deuce
OG / Hart
Kat / Yabusele
Mitch / Kat

LOVE this 9 men rotation. Think that makes us the favorite in the East.

He has a decent Kat impression in his shot profile. More deadly from above the break than the corner. It’s def a good fit and gives us a real back up 4.

Starting big next to KAT should be an open competition imo.
