I don’t know if soft is the right term.

He’s a thinner, taller Hunter Mickelson.

7’3” shooters are unicorns though.

The ability for a 5 to pull the other 5 away from the rim can be incredibly valuable. There are many NBA teams that are trying to do that to create easier paths to the hoop as well as shooters from every position. I think that trend will continue in the future.

If that is the comparison, then soft is absolutely the correct term.

Is a 7'3" transfer who would have to sit out a year to be a role player off the bench in the future what the roster needs?

Big tall guys are essential if you are playing 1970's 15' and in basketball, but the trend since the three point line was added as been superior guards leading to tournament success with the game from the NBA down trending more towards a perimeter game.

From what I can recall about him and why he ended up at postclownzopoculpse at Cal is that he wasn't good at running the floor, again this is fine with a 1970s mentality of walk it up and possess the ball for as long as possible, but it is why any team who likes a more uptempo flow to the offense passed on him.
