Notes: 2011: Selected by Milwaukee in 2nd round (40th overall) of the NBA Draft...2012: Traded to Houston in a five-player deal, June 27th; Waived by Houston, July 18th; Claimed off waivers by Cleveland, July 20th...2013: Traded to Memphis in a four-player deal, Jan. 22nd.
Was able to corral a spot on the All-Big Ten First Team as a senior last year...Steadily improved each season at Wisconsin and in his final season he finished with career highs in points (18.3 ppg) and rebounds (7.2 rpg)...Has the prototypical height and length for the NBA level...Does not possess top shelf athleticism, but overcomes that with his array of post moves and tremendous footwork...Is a surprisingly good passer from the forward
position...Very efficient in the paint and surprisingly has a smooth touch from mid-range and beyond...Lacks superior athleticism, but has a very high basketball IQ, putting him in the right spot more often than not...Will need to get bigger to cmpete with the more physical forwards in the NBA...Does not possess great explosiveness and his first step is average at best.
