Bingo. Let him run after these guys and lay the lumber on them inside. He's going to be an absolute pest which frees up OG to lock in on the wing threats.
When he arrived I thought he was mainly an undersize 5. Now we see he can play the small ball 5, but he's really the 4 we've been looking for. He's a decent defender and certainly a good backup to Julius (and more versatile in certain situations).
I'd seen him play a few decent games and hoped he'd be decent, but now I'm thinking he's another hidden bargain that Leon found for us. He's so much more helpful to winning than RJ was, and if we compare the value of OG to IQ for us, we won with both sides of that trade. In fact, Evil Donte Malachi was a win for us, too, because he was useful in trading for Bojan from Detroit. So everything worked out well. If OG comes back in good shape, I'm worried they may arrest Leon for grand larceny.
