Cause I agree there is something right about him, but if the only things we can come up with are the positives in our eye test, honestly, our eyes need to be checked.
He's really, really good at scoring at the rim, which is the most valuable place to score.
He's pretty good and staying between his player and the basket against both post and stretch bigs.
He moves well on the court and fits into what the team is doing. He's very unselfish in this regard.
He has good glue guy traits. His bounce, hustle, energy are easy to see. He does some stuff that gets extra possessions.
He ends up being a favorite target for our better point guards.
It's not like the eye test says he's bad. It's really just that his counting stats are down. But that doesn't seem to slow the team down at all.
