    He is a solid rotation player, but he is not and never will be a "star."

    Thats all he needs to be though. Just needs to be a consistent role player. Play good D night in and night out and give us 12/8 and he will be fine.

    No one is saying he's a star. No one thinks he's a star, but he's a lot better than people gave him credit for when we signed him.

    His shot IS improved. For reference, he's shooting 34% on threes at 4.4 attempts a game. Doesn't sound that impressive on paper.

    HOWEVER, his previous best season shooting threes he shot 31.5% on 1.8 attempts. That is a huge improvement.

    I was getting pumped about Aminu after his first couple games, but he looks like total shit now. Batum out-played him by a long shot today. He tries these ridiculous drives to the hoop that usually either result in a miss or him losing the ball.

    Well, maybe not "shit" but like an average backup.
