The Queens kid would be a great addition to Ice Cubes league. If hes healthy and clean, then Im sure he can get in the lane, pop an open jumper, facilitate and use his length to cause problems for opposing scorers, same as he did as a two-time NBA champion with the Lakers in 2009-2010.
We wish him all the success in the world.
