I think he's potentially, if you could ever get to the idealized version of him, he's a guy that can give you some... weak side rim protection. You could cross match with him too. Again, Charles Lee's been using the four to guard like opposing stretch fives a lot this season.
And then having the five, which is, you know, Mark Williams right now, you know, kind of playing that Rob Williams roving defensive role on the, on the, on the backside. So Salon's a guy with his length and his size might be able to sort of unlock some stuff for you there.

I think the big thing for him though, is like, is stating the obvious is the shot, like the three pointer, the catch and shoot, the, the, the slight movement threes. Um, because ultimately that's, what's going to make him like viable or not. Like, it's cool that he can cut around. He can, he'll try to get on the offensive glass.

The Hornets have been a very good offensive rebounding team this season. And he's, he's helped there in some regard. Um, uh, But the archetype for him is tall shooter and guy that shoots pick and pops and relocations and flare screens, that kind of stuff that helps, in theory, help open up the floor for LaMelo and Brandon Miller. He takes deep threes.

Sometimes he takes really tough threes, and that's in part why the shooting numbers look so, so, so rough right now. So that's going to be the thing. Can he ever get to become a mid-to-high-30s guy on volume? Because that can open up the catch-and-go for him, and he's got some live ball dribble ability. But it's pretty rough, and I think it's going to take some time.

Again, when they picked him, I thought this was going to be a... I forget, I thought he would spend the vast majority of the season with Greensboro and in the G league. And it would be, you know, a two, three year process for this guy to sort of like be brought online. And he had to kind of get just thrown into the, into the deep end here. So not, not entirely fair.

And then the last thing I would say for him too, is like, I like some of the defensive upside, but he's going to have to get way, he's just gonna have to get better laterally. Like you see guys beat him off the dribble with the first step, first dribble, All the time. He's got OB top in hips, guarding the ball in space. Guys can just jab step and rocket right by him.

He's too long and athletic, I think, to be that much of a liability in space and getting over screens, too. There's low-hanging fruit for him to get better, but it really all starts with the... with the shot, but he placed like he, to give him some praise. He says all the right things. He loves basketball. He wants to get better. He's super young.
