He plays defense (look at the entire game not the 3 times he had to 1v1 Flip and nobody can do that) and rebounds (even if he doesn't get the rebound he almost always puts his body on someone).  Plays within the confines of the "team".

On offense, he moves around, doesn't hold the ball, and doesn't force up shots like other players.   Would I like him to score more yes of course but in an ISO system he isn't going to be able to score or get off good looks.  He needs his offense created for him and that is fine as long as he knows his limits and doesn't force things up.   For him to be successful on offense he would need a system like UVA, not an ISO system.  In our current version of the ISO system, the offense will be controlled and created by our guards.

The value and consistency he brings on, especially on the defense side of the ball is better than any other forward on the team outside of Copeland (even he can be really inconsistent).

He has a good basketball IQ and rarely makes massive mistakes which again comes back to the consistency and he is someone Red can rely on to almost always make the correct play which is why Red plays him the most.
