He's a heck of a rebounder for his position. Last year he made nine 3's in a row before they had to shut him down with a leg injury. If he could develop a one-footed floater in the lane and a more consistent 3 he could be an asset off the bench.
The intangibles I think that he does every single night, he makes your team better. All the little things that coaches preach and beg for guys to do, he does them instinctually. - JBB
We have guards who play with the ball in their hands, so you need to put people around them who are good at playing without the ball, instinctively. [Windler] plays extremely well without the basketball. - JBB
Now he just needs to improve his game WITH the basketball. He's kind of like Okoro - his stat sheet is very unimpressive but the coach likes him.
One member of the front office compared him to Utah’s Joe Ingles. - Fedor
Except Ingles is 6'8" and is a 40.8% career 3-point shooter. Windler is 2" shorter and 24 pounds lighter. He runs the floor and rebounds better than Ingles but is not close to being in his league as a shooter. If Windler could hit 41% of his 3's while getting better at finishing at the rim he could play in this league. But on this team he's competing with Stevens, Cedi, LeVert, and Okoro for backup minutes next year (assuming Sexton starts) and against that group he has no chance.
