Locke mentioned that Alex Poythress could be a consideration for a 3/4 player if nothing else works out (I prefer Mhbah A Moute myself, though his age isn't very helpful for the Jazz). From what I've read, Poythress was a D-League all-star last year, managed 40% on 3s, though on less than 2 attempts per game. His performance in summer league this year has at least been consistently solid it seems, but hasn't been a breakout performance. So it sounds like he's got some slow improvement going in his game.
Maybe with Rubio around, his combination of strong rim finishing, improving outside shot, and at least potential defensive versatility can help make up for his relative lack of creation ability and BBIQ?
Anyway, as a 13th-15th roster spot, he seems to perhaps be worth taking a flyer on. It looks like he's an RFA with Philly, but they seem to have 3-5 players on their roster beyond the 15-man limit (depending on how you count), so maybe he's obtainable.
Thoughts?
