I think the tools are intriguing... I think I’m not looking for awesome defensively... just more effective than Niang and I think he’d give us that.Worst defensive rating on team among regular players. Wouldn't trust this stat totally. But all of us expecting him to be able to come in and provide solid defense immediately are over-optimistic, I think. He may be built a lot like PJ Tucker, but there's no way his defense is anywhere close to Tucker's level.
The thing that intrigued me on him in the preseason is he stood up Giannis a couple times on defense. That power wing type is going to be something we need in the playoffs. Now that we are out of options on the trade market that’s something I’d like to see us start prepping for.
