As a Fenerbahce fan it seems a good signing for both Gsw and Wanamaker. I think there is no way he could be a starter or 6th man, however he would probably a valuable bench player. I expect his role close to L. Barbosa.
Regarding to his Fenerbahce/EL days;
Strengths:
- He was very strong for his height. He is 6-3 (190cm), 210lb (95kg).
- He was very good on defence, he could defend other positions. Obradovic was using switch defence very often and Wanamaker was good on it.
- He could score on isolation with both attacking to rim and on mid-range.
Weaknesses:
- He signed Fenerbahce when Bogdan Bogdanovic left. Most of the fans disappointed for his performance. He was not a clutch player/leader like Bogdan.
- His basketball IQ/playmaking ability was not good. Gsw/Kerr uses lots of off ball screens/runs, I have some concerns about that.
- He seemed he was underestimating Fenerbahce, fans mostly blamed him for that reason. He could have ego issues. However, he will probably accept his role in Gsw.
