re: Karlo Watch

Karlo is averaging 19/8. I've watched several of the 6 minute game recap clips put out by the GLeague and focusing just on Karlo, this is what has stood out to me:

The Good:

- Sets good picks
- Rolls to the basket well to be a lob threat
- Boxes out regularly

The Bad:

- When I've seen him having to rotate in the paint to stop someone that got by their man, he has been a step slow and has not looked good as a rim protector. He is averaging 1.5 blocks, so I'm guessing it's not all bad, but what has made the game recap clips don't make him look like much of a rim protector.
- 8.3 rebounds in 34 minutes is not good, and this is the GLeague.

Obviously he can get better, but the defense and rebounding not appearing to be there at an adequate level is kind of a big deal. I have zero expectation that they sign him to a contract this year. Making Matt Ryan playoff eligible would be way more useful to the Pels.
