He's a difference-making BIG on the defensive end who can protect the paint, play 1-on-1 and switch onto almost anyone in the pnr game. There aren't very many of those in the game...10? Fewer? And, he's a top-notch floor spacer, which is doubly valuable when it comes from a big. It's easy to forget what an impact player he is when he's right and in a good rhythm because he (admittedly) hasn't been healthy enough for long enough recently.
Availability is certainly a concern with him, as is the drop off in his play when he fights through minor injuries. I still think he's a gem, however. The best thing about him is that he's STILL not a finished product. If he can keep improving and get over this injury stuff he can be relevant and valuable for a loooong time, like PJ Tucker, just as an example.
