Question #2 is ....can he make a shot outside of a dunk? I haven't seen any proof of that. Over 2 years he's only taken 16- 3 pt shots mostly in garbage time. He made 6 of them. I'm not convince on Minott. He has a lot to show me to make me a believe.
He's an excellent FT shooter. Why can't he shoot live.

I'm really interested to see what he looks like in preseason games and have started to wonder if he can force his way into some semi regular minutes. I could see him starting the year as the first non-rotation option for SF/PF minutes when the regular guys aren't available due to foul trouble, injury, or rest.

Has he taken a big step since Summer League, or are they trying to manufacture some kind of trade value?

Garbage time player.

You need some imagination. He wasn't good last time you saw him. It doesn't mean he's not good now.

Trust me...I want to like him. I was a big fan when he first joined us. He just can't shoot. I hope he proves me wrong!

At his age and price point Minott is a good end of bench option. The rebounding, defense, and passing of Minott is mostly untested at the NBA level. He is worth a roster spot until he is needed. Also remember that in two years when his deal ends he will be a RFA with a high likelihood of getting a 2-3 year minimum similar to JMAC. He is a guy you keep.

Not saying I wouldn't keep him on the roster...just that he is end of bench/emergency guy.

100%. The only thing is I think he might need some minutes to develop. Maybe squeeze him in mid season and rest the stars more, especially against weaker teams. We don’t want to run out of gas in the playoffs again, especially with nagging injuries piling up.

I was gonna come in here post something about a trade/cut guy. I just see him as the last guy in the bench for me. At PF I would rather give Miller any of those minutes. At SF I would rather give TSJ any of those minutes. If we have an injury and need to count on some this deep in the bench I would feel more comfortable put KDB in the game.
saw him in the summer league and even his good games just weren’t impressive. We wasn’t a basketball player he was an athlete playing basketball.
If we have to make space I think he would be the guy I would care least about loosing.

Sorry but that is and will always be PJ Dozier. Minott has upside, Dozier doesn’t. Minott is cheap, if Dozier blows up (not gonna happen,) he isn’t. Minott hasn’t had his shot yet, Dozier has. Finally, Minott is 6’8 with a great wingspan. Dozier is 6’6 with a great wingspan. 2 inches isn’t nothing when talking about defending larger 3s and 4s.
