Need a stretch 4 that can shoot more than 46 threes all year long and actually make free throws.
The Kwame Evans guy from Oregon hits about 30% from 3 while shooting about 3.4 per game. Shoots almost 80% from FT. No idea if he'd improve his shooting here like some have, but his 3pt% has increased every year of college.

Not sure if I'd be cool with Pope taking that chance on him, though. We NEED a stretch 4 to open driving lanes.

Over 2 seasons, he shot 40% from 3pt range, so I would think he could be more than adequate as the PF & spot backup as the 5
He isn't a stretch 4 he got pushed around by physical players so as a back up center sure. I don't see him coming as a back up anything. Again taking only 46 threes all year isn't what you want from your stretch 4 and not shooting 60% from the free throw line. He is better than Garrison or Jelavic.

yeah, I was thinking he wouldn't be great as a C for the reasons you mentioned. However, as a backside help defender to block shots, and as a guy who is at least a threat from the perimeter, he could be a good fit at PF.

Then, as a "small ball (small as in girth not length)" C in spots, he would still give you a perimeter threat at the 5 in spots.

Absolutely agree we need people that can pull players out of the lane but bigs that can also handle the ball.
