Young guy (26) with decent stats. From the other forum "He's a 26 year old 6'9'' SF who averaged 11/3 on 48% shooting and 34% from three in 20 minutes last year."

Looks like he likes to dunk and is pretty athletic.

Phil is out here making moves. This guys goes straight to the hoop any/every chance he gets. I have not seen him shoot a jumper in any of the multiple video I have seen. He also put in work against the Team USA JV team a few years back.

Seems like that's his role he will play. Might not see a lot of time but he is that athletic combo forward who will be insurance for Melo and Lance.

Yeah, I could see him filling the lane on fast breaks with Rose and Jennings. Seems like he improved his 3pt shot a little last year too.

They said they had eyes on Euro players they could add. Seems like a nice replacement for DWill.

Lengthy player who seems to play like a point forward - often bringing the ball up the court.
He had 2 blocks against Team USA but haven't heard he is good on defense. Let's see what Phils culture does...

The kid didn't take one shot or make one layup in that whole 4 minute clip, nothing but dunks. He isn't gonna get away with dunks like that in the NBA so i'd like to see his shooting stroke.
