    We drafted him in CJ's draft and traded him to OKC for cash.

    Short Version: he's a shooting big - a Blazers kind of guy. However, we don't have roster space for him.

    6'10", shot 41.2% from 3 for IDA last year.

    Isn't this the same thing as signing a "camp arm" for NFL training camp? I mean.... I wish the guy luck but we are stacked.

    Yeah, it's just a training camp signing. However, we are not "stacked" in terms of shooting big men. In fact, we have so few shooting big men that we've turned our starting SF into a PF to improve our shooting, and will probably give one of the most foolish big men in the game a significant amount of PT, just because he can shoot.

    Training camp and preseason are where guys like him get a shot to outperform a bottom feeder on the bench....this guy might school Connaughton or Layman and take a roster spot but he needs to beast to crack the roster
