But if he still doesn't show growth, replacing him with a vet like Konchar or Brown is fine.
I get the concern about Wiseman’s injury history and that he’s been a bust but it’s definitely a low risk signing that can payoff if he can be a viable backup C
My bet is on Eubanks of it comes down between him and Wiseman. Wiseman is not the last big talent to be derailed by injuries and wasted potential. I'm down on him being able to stay healthy. He isn't dependable while Eubanks has been except for the injury he got last season. Eubanks likely is a lower ceiling but his floor is competent for a back up. Plus, Eubanks sets screens, finishes around the rim, and he blocks one shot a game in his limited minutes. Eubanks can hustle and impress the fans with the overachiever he is being undrafted

I came away from SL thinking Nickel is the anti-Dadiet
Whereas Dadiet slinks around the court with limited presence and occasional bursts of activity, I always knew where Nickel was on the floor, watching him move with an innate conviction on where to be on the floor. He knew where to go and he was directing his teammates where to go.
The difference is between a player who often doesn't know how to make his mark on the game and a player who pretty much knows exactly what his role is and how to execute it.
I already believe in Nickel's ability to contribute in a rotation role. I've never felt that way about Dadiet
