Mudiay doesnt come off as a needle mover. He isn't actively "making his teammates better". But he has held a quality TS% earlier in the year which has dipped a bit. If he can hold a high TS% with low TOs, FTs, and quality %s. He can be a contributing piece in a rotation preferably off the bench to a higher quality PG on a winning team.
We have to think KP and our top 3 draft pick(since Zion, Barret, Morant can all create and will probably be naturally more talented) will probably be our featured players with Knox pushing Timmy for that 3rd spot. Not to mention if we sign a big time FA. Pushing multiple people down the people king order. Then there is Trier who is a natural scorer. Low usage high TS% players who defend are nessesary to compliment that. So if Mudiay can hold high TS% as a lower usage player then he would be of value.
If your a featured player you either need to be able to make others better or have crazy high TS%. If not then as a lower option player you have to offer utility like Vonleh does which his ability to rebound, defend, shoot the 3, bang down low while not being a go to guy.
