He can guard the other teams best player and with his length and ability to move his feet (for a guy thats 6'10") he can make people really have to work for things. Did you see how well he did defending Richie?

great teams need role players, we already have the players that need the ball in their hands and to shoot a bunch of shots next year. We will need guys that can affect the game in other ways and Jake can do that. He can hit the key three pointer (shot 37%), he can pass, he can rebound well, he can even dribble and help break a press cuz he's comfortable with the ball, and he can work his butt off on defense.
