I’m not familiar with his game. Is he a good pickup? I assume Christmas will be cut now.

 Has a decent mid range jumper that he falls in love with a bit too much- a solid back to the basket game as well. However, its not his offense that has stopped him from seeing more of the court in his previous stops, its his lack of mobility on defense. A bit of a stiff on that end, he is hardly a deterent at the rim, and isn’t mobile enough to defend pick n rolls on the perimeter well either. Not sure how much time he sees with Turner, Jefferson and Thaddeus Young all booked in for major minutes in the front court. Good to help push younger guys though, he’ll be a great asset in practice for pushing the young bigs Indiana have in Turner and Niang.

But yes, I imagine this means two of Christmas, Jeremy Evans and Alex Poythress will be cut before the start of the season to get down to 15 players. I’d honestly take Christmas over Evans at this point, I think he has a much better chance at being a contributor with his superior size and outside jumper than Evans who is really only good for the rare highlight dunk or block.

He falls in love with his one reliable move his righty jumphook. But in fairness to him, that shot’s almost automatic lol. Other than that, I see that he is a great locker room guy.

 They wanted to get faster and yet they added two plodding centers in him and Jefferson. I don’t get it at all.
