The beauty of it is he is signed pretty cheap on a 28th rookie scale pick for 3 years. Great pick up by our FO, nothing to lose…
When PBJ is hot, he looks like a god out there; he is so tall almost nobody is contesting his jump shot. The big question is how he handles being a defender, especially in the playoffs when people can game plan for him... but that doesn't matter that much for you right now but he was not cracking a playoff rotation for us this coming year. In my opinion between PBJ and Poole you guys bought low on two of our guys that definitely will be worth more in the future than they are now. Both need a lot of playing time to work through their mistakes, something we can't offer for awhile. Poole is also going to be motivated again.
This is why I think the trade was good for both teams, as you'll get appreciated assets while you retain a high draft pick. We made a win-now move, you guys made a move for the future.
