A.J. Hammons
C, 7’0, 260lbs, 24 years old, 1 year of experience
Signed to a three year deal, all guaranteed, thereby given the benefit of time to develop, despite being far from the youngest prospect. His ability to defend the basket while finishing around the other basket and shooting the trailer three is rare. Then again, not being the fleetest of foot laterally considering his significant size, it is not automatic that this translates. Needs more time invested to establish his credentials as an NBA player.
Player Plan: Two guaranteed minimum salary seasons. Keep him and give him the chance to win Mejri’s spot - if he cannot, he will not make it in the NBA.
