His defensive EPM is at 72% after starting the year incredibly bad, so at least seeing some improvement on that end. However he is still not worth this contract which is why I was pushing for him to be included in the Nurkic deal as a salary swap but instead we are sattled with both contracts and no cap space moving forward because of it.

He is a 9th man type but starting.

I was pretty down on him last night, especially with the direct comparison to Jeffries (I recall them sharing the court a lot, but could be mistaken). He had a great possession of ball denial (on Trae I think) late in the game that was valuable and he's had some spurts throughout the season, but I don't have a lot of confidence in him as a potential starter at this point. Fortunately for fans, a quarter of the roster is auditioning to fill his archetype, so hopefully a couple of those guys work out. I don't think his contact is so bad that he's an albatross or anything and I guess he's young enough to improve, but he's got to just to avoid get squished out by Jeffries and Okogie and the development wing rotation.
