Just to add that I thought Windler was a good player when he was healthy. I'm pasting a paragraph from post #996 on the previous page.
If we want an accurate picture of what Windler can do I think we have to throw out March, when he was obviously hurt, and look at a five-week period in late January and February. From Jan. 22 to Feb. 27 Windler shot 48.9% from the field and 40.0% on 3's. Those are excellent numbers for a rookie and when you throw in his rebounding and steals, which were well above average for his position, he was a pretty good player. He was averaging less than one turnover in 19.4 minutes per game. I could see why his minutes were climbing.
Also...
In block percentage he was in the 91st percentile. In steal percentage he was in the 75th percentile. In defensive rebounding he was in the 94th percentile. In foul percentage he was average; 53rd percentile. He was a guy who got steals and blocks while excelling on the defensive glass without committing a lot of fouls. Windler was an asset when the opponent had the ball.
So if you combine his defense, where he was well above average in blocks, steals, and rebounds with his Jan-Feb shooting numbers (49% and 40%) and his offensive rebounding (72nd percentile for wings) you have a guy who contributes on both ends of the floor.
What killed him was turnover rate, mid-range shooting, and non-corner 3's. Windler was in the 87th percentile in corner 3's but from the wings and straight on he was in the 11th percent. The corner 3's are from the same distance as in college but the other 3's are longer so he needs to increase his range. That, and reducing turnovers, which is just a matter of adjusting to the increased speed of the NBA and the more athletic defenders than he faced at Belmont.
I think if this guy can stay healthy he can be a good pro - a solid 3-and-D wing - just what the Cavs need. Coming from a small college it's a bigger jump to the NBA than for most and unfortunately, he missed his entire rookie year and his second year was start and stop due to more injuries. If he can stay healthy for an extended period of time I think he can work his way into playing consistent minutes.
