A bucket-getting forward who lives at the line — he drew fouls at a 93rd-percentile rate and converted his looks at a sparkling 60.8% true shooting, pouring in 18.6 a night on 38.9% from three. He's a high-usage scorer who won't do much else: light on the glass (3.5 boards) and not a playmaker, but the efficient shot-making is real.

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.
