Matt Gatens
Gatens played in summer league last year for Phoenix, and averaged 6.3 points per game. He impressed suitably there and in his senior season with Iowa (15.7 ppg) that he was able to play his rookie season in the Spanish ACB with Murcia, which doesn't happen often. Gatens played a prominent role, too, averaging 9.6 points in 24.7 minutes a contest. Playing exclusively off the ball, Gatens has size, IQ, a good jumpshot, and decent defense. (Reasonably unathletic white guys can defend, despite perceptions.) He will be a good role player for many years. But not at the NBA level.
