Wade would fit into our TPE. I've always liked him. He hustles and plays hard. He'd be a good backup power forward. The Cavs seem to be somewhat over stacked.

Sold. Strong defensive PF. Good size & mobility. Developing offensive game. They signed Niang to play in front of him so good chance he is available.

Career three rebounds per game in 19 minutes?  Not sure that is the best use of the TPE.

I think he mostly defends out on the perimeter and plays out there on offense as well so he's not in a position to rebound. He's better than anyone you could probably pick in the second round.

I am not that familiar with his game. I am just going by stats. You may know his game better. Looks like another Mike Muscala to me, which means he wouldn’t help much.  I would rather hold out for something better. We only get one shot with the TPE. The second round pick does not concern me as much. But I doubt he turns out better than Jordan Walsh.

I agree but people were fine with Grant's 4.6 in 25 mpg, so the rebound threshold here is very small
