Loved Maliq Brown but Eddie Lampkin is a HUGE upgrade at Center and a great, smart get, imho.
Lampkin is a physical, strong, long, legit Big Man who rebounds well, plays effective bully ball in the box using quick feet - much more agile than McCloud and NOT significantly less agile than Brown - showing good footwork while displaying a nice bag of low post scoring moves - far more skilled offensively in the paint than the departing Mr. Brown. EL is also an excellent passer with good vision and wise intent behind his passing.
Like Maliq, who I hope nothing but the best for, Lampkin just looks like a baller. Very nice first stop on the road to roster reconstruction. Now time to grab a ball distributing PG who can make threes and create for himself & his teammates. Nice pick up by Red and the crew.
