2 Years, $2 million according to Woj.

A steal IMO.

love it. the back up big we need, and the potentials still there. he'll be getting more consistent minutes than he did with memphis, so theres still hope for him.

Really excited about this signing, but we have a logjam at the four now.

Not super familiar with his game. What do we like? Is he much of a rim protector?

The 2nd year is a player option according to Woj.

keep those former lottery picks that haven't lived up to expectations in their 4-6 yrs in the league coming.

Raps fan here with a quick scouting report.

First off if you got him at 2 year 2 mil that's a steal. His career was killed after the Rudy Gay trade, because he was really starting to blossom in Toronto.

Strengths. Left handed. Consistent shot out to the elbow. Good length for his frame. Very good help defender, will block shots with his length and explosive athleticism. Very good at using the glass down low. Finishes well at the rim, and on the break. Good rebounded. Good attitude.

Weaknesses: Not very strong. Can get pushed around at times. He isn't the best post defender. Doesn't have exceptional footwork. While he has length, he's not very tall feet to head (I use to see him all the time at the grocery store). Does not go right... ever.

HUGE STEAL! Could be our starting C over Hill by the trade deadline.

Shocked that we got him at this price!
