A combo forward who draws fouls and competes but couldn't carve out efficient offense — 6.4 points on 40% shooting in a deep-bench role. The 35% three keeps a sliver of hope alive, but the defensive metrics and finishing are below the bar; he's a fringe roster piece hitting free agency.

Current deal: through '26. On the contract row the flat dashed line is this salary, so the gap to the 2026-27 forecast is the surplus.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
