Bro, I like the player but not the fit. We needed a stretch 5 if we were going to an under sized 5. For this we could’ve kept Jaxson. Now him and Zion can’t stretch the floor.
Trash franchise
Jax 2.0?
He’s not a starter. But probably won’t a be a “bust”. No one should be expecting him to be the 1# big on this roster. He’ll give them good depth and rotation if they can find a vet center if they can’t keep Jonas.
