I think this is a good signing based on what I have seen. Glad we are getting him now to give him some time to blend with the rest of the team.
Seems this is our last signing of the summer, personally, I would have liked us to great a great 3 but can’t really complain about this.
Not long ago in 2021 he was starting for Miami while Adebayo was injured and he was putting up decent numbers like 22 and 16, 17 and 11. Good rebounder, decent shot blocker, lob threat, has some ability to stretch the floor. I’d say this is a good value signing.
