And his jumper is really bad. His mechanics are terrible and the last player like that to be drafted was MKG....whose shot is still completely terrible.
Offense is not something that you can necessarily just work on and become good at. Just like some guys always suck at D, some guys can never get their O developed.@sweatpantsjer

Early looks like the absolute classic "Tweener" to me, not just defensively but offensively as well. Admittedly I can only judge that based on looking at his DX video, as the only time I saw him play was against Kentucky where he looked like KD.

The Ariza talk is funny. I doubt he would sign here.
Colangelo went after him with a big contract offer, and he turned it down for a lower salary to play elsewhere. We ended up with Turk instead. Wonderful.

I'm a big fan of getting guys who can be effective on both ends to some degree, and also of trying to get pieces that fit well together and complement each others skills.
