He belongs on a lottery team where he can chase numbers at the detriment of his team's win/loss record. That's all he's ever been, a stat chaser. He'd be perfect on a tanking team where staring down a first or second year player for stealing his rebounds will be accepted.

One of the most overrated players in modern basketball. He'd be a detriment to the Clippers.
