Analysis:

The seven-footer averaged just 9.6 minutes off the bench in 45 games last season, but finished second on the team in blocks per game with 0.9 and led the team in rebounding on three occasions. He also fared well in the Las Vegas Summer League, earning him significant run this exhibition season. He's played at least 21 minutes in each of his last four preseason games.
