Scouting report

His best fit is the Glue guy role, which does the defensive and rebounding work that never shows up as points. His defense (74), rebounding (65) and basketball IQ (61) are exactly what that role asks for, and the game rates the match as “Suits him”.
For a small forward, his standout attributes are defense (74) and rebounding (65), in the top 22% and 53% of small forwards respectively.
The trade-off is three-point (58), in the bottom 21% of small forwards — surround him with floor spacing so defenses cannot sag into the paint.
