2017 NBA Manifesto

Alex Poythress
SF, 6’7, 238lbs, 23 years old, 1 year of experience

More of an injury call-up (or affiliate reward call-up) than anything, Poythress nevertheless did show in the D-League season that he had his health back, and with that, he has his prospects back again. He shot well from outside, albeit on a low volume, and showed himself to be a versatile defender at levels beyond the college one, when driven. Probably just about on the outside looking in, but pretty close.

Player Plan: Expiring prorated minimum salary contract. There will be no bidding war on another one. A camp invite would suffice.
