NBA - Main

I don't remember the last time such an obviously medicore player was defended so heavily.

He's getting the benefit of the doubt because of WCJ and Lauri as if somehow he'll magically develop because those guys got better.

The fact is that he's been in the league long enough and shown so little that it's clear he doesn't have it. That's the difference between those guys and him.

I'm convinced people who say this don't watch him. When he's out there, he's basically a zero. Most of the time, anonymous.

People say he's a good defender. Okay, fine, he's a good defender. I don't particularly think so because he can't rebound for shit, constantly gets outworked and bullied and is too slow to keep up with the quicker perimeter players but fine you can have that.

He has no offensive game beyond shooting 3s which he's only OK at. Sometimes. He's can't post up smaller guys, he can't beat guys off the dribble, he can't create his own shot or create for others.

He's had plenty of time to show something or improve an aspect of his game and he's failed miserably.

They need to get rid of him unless they can sign him extremely cheap which isn't the case. If it wasn't for Lauri turning into an All-Star, we wouldn't even be having these conversations.

He's like a slightly better Anthony Bennett.
