I am fine with Hauser as a 3rd string forward. 6-8 and can shoot.

I'd like to see two other wing 3rd stringers. At least one who is athletic and can defend. And another who is a smaller wing at around 6-5 or so and can shoot. Someone with more foot-speed than Hauser. Someone who can matchup against quicker players if required which Hauser may struggle with so we can go with either guy dependent on matchups.

Pritchard is a top 3rd string PG. Hauser okay 3rd string unproven forward. Then two more proven 3rd string wings. And one 3rd string dependable center - not Kornet, he is not dependable.

I was thinking Sam could be a bigger Max Strus.  Hope he gets some minutes in blowouts early in the season.  Then we'll see.  I admit the more I think about our roster the more difficult it will be to get to 9 or 10 without some injuries impacting decision making.

Watched some college film. In addition to shooting the 3, he posted up a lot, and was a very good passer. Just worry about his defense.

His D didn't look bad but he only ever got on the floor in garbage minutes. There are two ends to the court. If you can score more points than your opponent you win. The new offense focus guys could really be good when we go on a scoring drought if Ime will play them. We sure could've used more offense in the finals. Also playing him during the season will keep Jaylen and Jason fresh!

He could be the same sized, Robinson!

I would go for TJ Warren and Serge Ibaka.

Sudden Sam will be our 8th man next season.  Great size and a solid shooter from 3 land.

Modify....maybe 9th or 10th now that I think about it a little more.

Wait, what? Tatum, Brown, Smart, TL, Horford, Brogdon, White, Grant, Gallo, PP are top 10 for sure. Then we are likely to pick up a better big than our mascot Kornet. So, Hauser is probably at best 12th on the depth chart right now. He has the potential to improve, but we certainly aren't expecting a lot out of him. He is getting paid less than the vet min.
Yeah, there's no way Hauser is one of our top ten players next season.
