106099, Really love him. Tremendous post-lottery value.

He needs to go to a team where for the first couple of years he won't be the focus of defenses. He struggled last year compared to the year before because he was drawing double teams and really physical play, and his team required him to shoot a lot and get fouled a lot. I don't think he'll slip to Cleveland, but if he did, that's *exactly* where he needs to land: he needs to, at least at first, be a guy who runs off screens for catch-and-shoot scenarios while defenses worry about the team's stars. He's a strong enough scorer to potentially reach star value later, but he's at absolute worst a catch-and-shoot 3-point specialist, and more realistically someone who should shine as an offensive weapon, perhaps in a Jamal Crawford-esque role.
