    He is better than Nanu, but he was disappointing in the summer league. I hope he plays well with the squad, but for now, he won't be able to contribute to the team.

    I made a post somewhere about how I was surprised we don't have a real power forward on the bench. I admittedly completely forgot about this guy and also know so little about him.
    Maybe he would be the back up PF that D'antoni will almost never use

    That's fair... most assume he will be packaged for Melo ;) (and then we would sign J-Smoove)

    He's in the 98 percentile of roll men in the league according to NBA stats. Considering we have the best two pick and roll players in the NBA with the best PNR coach, I don't think trading for him was an accident. Add the fact that he hits an above average percentage from the 3 point line, makes him a theoretical great fit. If he plays up to his potential, he may may Clint expendable since there is no way we are paying Clint the close to the max which is what he be offered by some team.

    Or he may make Anderson expendable and then we pay Capela anderson's salary. I dont think anybody will offer Capela the max (30m?) because he has not shown any ISO scoring skills. Everybody knows Capela's scoring is all due to Harden.
