Could be a huge pick up at a position of need...and looks like a possible upgrade from Williamson?

In the more recent 2023-24 season, he was a key figure on the team, noted for his hustle while averaging 15.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. On top of that, he shot .540 from the field and .329 from three-point range
