Combine stats, analytics, interviews with teams, what he's been asked to work on, and how he's handled it, are all things the FO knows that we really don't. Maybe Howard has now actually turned into the guy they expected at pick #11, but Orlando has moved on and there's no room for him in the rotation.
This is Ish's first experience I think in an NBA environment. You can afford to let him play elsewhere.
It does seem like the Front Office is doing homework on players we don't see. The unexpected appeals to me right now, so my enthusiasm can switch gears easily.
Agree.
They are trying to find gems for cheap... Low risk high reward moves.
Not a bad way to operate.
