This is a wonderful pickup and he should look to slot in and play similar minutes to Bruno or Satterwhite from last season (~10 min/game). And if he can consistently shoot a higher percentage from 3 than Bruno he may see closer to 15 or 20 min/game.
Nice write up! The teams going to need at least two solid bench contributors next season to give the starters some breathing room much like Aundre and Lucas did (both averaged about 20mpg off the bench). I like Bruno's ability to drive to the bucket and pass; and when he's feeling his shot he can score in a hurry; needs to take some steps on defense though if he wants the sixth man role.
If I were to put money down now I think Kaifes will get take over in the Lucas role, Kaifes value as a shooter will be big from day 1; his shot is so smooth. Meanwhile I think Negron makes a leap and takes the other 20. It will be interesting to see how the bench plays out overall. Our starting 5 should be tops in the league but we will need some members of our young bench to grow quickly; that said all of them are brimming with potential.
