It might seem like a stretch but it’s true. He’s 6’5 in shoes and on those Brooklyn teams he split time between the PF and SF position almost equally with small spot minutes (like 5-10 total over the course of a season, so really not a lot) at C.
On Denver he played more PG/SG, but offensively they used him in the Aaron Gordon small ball 4 role where he set screens and rolled to the basket.
I don’t think he’d be used as a center really at all here, but he could be a backup 4 pretty easily. He gives up size but he brings with him the ability to guard 1-3.
