should have moved from zero-contributers to having a significant role?
And please don't say Erickson. That guy needed either of two things going for him in order for him to stay on the roster: (1) handles significantly better than they were, or (2) four more inches so he could've made it as a defensive specialist with 2-3 versatility.
The guy was an impressively explosive athlete w strength enough to defend the 3 — but besides lacking handles & a dependable shot, he was not long, he was not fast, & he was not agile. Trey Stewart therefore was clearly the way Pope's dice should've been thrown in necessarily trimming the roster.
