Veteran 2/3 depth lends more credence to Holland/Thompson getting back-up PF minutes, potentially with the plan being the Harris replacement and long term answer there. Holland listed at 6'8" and up to 212lbs. Will need about another 15lbs+ as he fills out and his body matures.

There are late-offseason/pre-camp acquisitions like this every year. It's nothing. Think Wendell Moore last year.



* That being said, it's not like this roster is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to talent. We should always be looking to unearth talent.

Plays good defense and he’s a deep bench option with experience. Unless we gave him some unnecessary contract I don’t see a problem with this

:dontknow:

He's fine as an end of the bench guy.

Yeah given our depth chart you'd think we'd be throwing a deal like this to a 4.

But whatever. We'll see.

I think this is the filler until he finds the right four

6'4" elite athlete, good defender, a knack for making good cuts, but other than that not a big offensive threat. Has never averaged an assist per game, but has had respectable 3 pt shooting seasons. He does appear to do better in a running scheme, and could be an acceptable emergency/mop up vet. Maybe a bit of a Hamidou vibe, and hopes that Vinson can work some magic? ;-)

Wasn't expecting to pick up an old guard, but it's the end of the bench so it doesn't really matter

For some reason I was thinking he was in his mid 20s with upside still ... crazy that he's 32 didn't realize that at all. Was thinking he was just a tad older than guys like Cade, Ivey and Stewart.

Kinda strange that Langdon haven’t gotten a backup 4 for Tobias I guess Holland will man the position until trade deadline.

The Bulls were running him at the 4 for a bit, crazy I know, but he can play multiple positions. He'll be fine taking some spot minutes at the 4.

Our weakness is a PF and TL does nothing. I'm not a bit surprised. :o

Real power shifting information. Greens contract is only partially guaranteed ($925,000)
