Play defense
Team president Daryl Morey mentioned his defensive potential after the team selected him on Nov. 18. In order to earn a spot in the rotation, he will have to do it at a high level. He will be competing with Matisse Thybulle, Furkan Korkmaz and fellow rookie Tyrese Maxey for playing time, so one can assume that whoever defends the best out of that group will get the playing time in the rotation.
