He made seven 3-point shots in two years, so it's really amusing to see like four of them in his scouting tape. He had 21 attempts in 42 games, so it's not like he's a Rory Stewart-style chucker from deep. The size is appealing on paper (6'8", 210), but it didn't really translate to his rebound...

Traore basically didn't play for two years at St. John's, under two different coaches, and he didn't really do much with what little he did play. I'm hoping we can do better, and that he's a pure back-up option or deep depth / upside play.
