floater mid-range game that is handy late in close games against good teams and defensively I just think he's going to be really good I mean I don't know if he's ever going to be Paul George level his off-ball defense can can weigh in a bit like he gets back cut now and then and loses track of his guy but he's got all the tools I I don't know how many all-star teams he's going to make I don't know where I would go on over under two and a half but I think he's going to make all-star teams

So you have a little guy and a big guy.
And it's super dynamic.
And there's mismatches that present themselves.
Our teams get confused.

Brandon Miller can play a little bit of bully ball.
Khan is too dangerous to like...
none of these guys are going to take you down into the post.
The way we think about hunting your typical undersized defender, whoever that may be, but they're just going to run you through a ringer, no pun intended of like on ball and off ball actions.
And if you're not up for it, like you're going to fall behind and they're going to get a good shot.
