He is somewhat useful now with Love out. From what I’ve seen, he looks like he may develop into a pretty decent offensive player. Once Love is back, he’ll be of some use for limited minutes off the bench, but at this point the only positive or neutral impact games he has will be the ones where he finishes at a very high rate.
His game at this point doesn’t seem tailored to the present NBA where you’d love your center to be a great rim protector, great passer, and pretty much needs to finish almost everything or be able to step out and hit a 3 enough to keep them honest. He only checks like one of those boxes at the moment.
