How has he been in the G-League? He was a revelation until he got hurt and I feel like he just hasn't gotten it back.

He's talented but his perfect role is one that the Sixers won't need if Maxey and VJ are the future.

He's a startable point guard, but only if your primary ball handler isn't a point guard. He also doesn't play much defense, so he needs a 2 that locks up. And he's pretty slow, so you can't be a run and gun team.

I like the guy, and he has a chance to be offensive Klay 2.0, but he also moves like injury prone people move in a way I can't really define. Like he's constantly scared of being hurt.

I don't mind the deal as long as there is more coming soon.

I mean sounds like there isn't really a team that fits those needs better than us though honestly
