zero evidence he can play well vs starters. We have only seen him in summer league and playing vs other young players trying to make the league Needs time to hone his overall game, learn how to play a team game and put on 10 pounds of muscle.I’m telling you Bates is going to shoot his way into a bench role sooner rather than later. We hav sone major gun slingers on this team who aren’t scared to let it fly.
Certainly intriguing though and glad to have him
