He is long, and athletic. But he has no jump shot, worse FT% than Shaq, is known for his stone hands in catching the ball, and he is not a good rebounder. He is NOT ready to be our starting PF. He has more mobility than Cato (to cover the perimeter), about the same in blocking shots, but a lesser rebounder and a post defender. I wouldn't mind getting him here, but definitely we shouldn't overpay him. There was a reason he got released by the Magic.
It doesn't sound like we need his skills, especially if what macfan said about him & T-Mac not getting along is true.
Steve Hunter is a Pure Athelete with no Basketball IQ. if JVG can turn him into a defensive Monster then i'll be rapt. THE TOOLS are certianly there!.
