Coupled with missing half the season for the 2nd time in his short career… he failed to achieve many milestones for a RFA.
Saddiq Bey is probably a dead-on comparison (if not clearly better, so far). We’ll see what either guy makes, having some promise, but also many ups and downs, and season ending injuries.
I’ll be kind of livid if Bulls resign him to $15m or more salary. This should be a Coby deal part 2. $33/3 with no player option… but loaded with lofty incentives (all-star, mip, all-defensive, etc.).
I like Sadiq Bey as a DDR replacement.
