Of all the big men he'd be the only one I'd be willing to give years and money to. He's big. He's tough. He's young. He's got attitude. He's got talent.
As for minutes, at least short term he should get plenty, maybe as much as 25-30 MPG because if the C's resign Powe he won't be around until late January at the earliest. With Perk's shoulder problems and KG's age, I'm sure Doc would have no problem using the trio as a big man rotation with each getting close to 30 MPG as he could play Pachulia as a center alongside KG against athletic 4's and Zaza as a PF alongside Perk against larger less mobile PFs.
Also, he's great insurance for having a decent center to have in case Perk's chronic shoulder problems become a long term issue at any point during the season.
He's be who I would want as my big signee and would give $5 million to him before I ever thought about giving it to Baby if it comes down to using the MLE or resigning Baby being the only way to spend $5 million.
