2017 NBA Manifesto
Skal Labissiere
PF/C, 6’11, 225lbs, 21 years old, 1 year of experience
Broke out after the Cousins trade to finish the season scoring 17.0 points per 36 minutes on a .577% true shooting percentage, both excellent for a rookie. Labissiere shot absolutely excellent percentages on mid-range jump shots (shooting 47-86 from between 10 feet and the three-point line for 54.6%), hinted at range beyond that in the future with 3-8 three-point shooting, showed soft touch on his hook shots and still got to the line at a decent rate amidst it all. He also rebounded well, and, for a player who came into the league with questions about his toughness, held his own on the interior. A bright spot on the season for the team who, with added strength and poise, could really blossom if this rookie run-out was anything to go by.
Player Plan: Three years of rookie scale salary remaining. Off to a very good start, albeit in a brief part-season audition. Keep and give the bulk of the power forward time to.
