a high-IQ wing with real shooting juice and pro pedigree
Fahrensohn’s Portland years showed a steady, valuable 3-and-D-ish wing: in the 2020-21 season, he appeared in 20 games, averaged 2.7 points and 1.7 rebounds, and knocked down 8 threes while bringing size and versatility at 6-foot-7.[1][3][9] What makes him interesting is the feel beyond the box score — he battled injuries earlier in his Pilots career, earned a Tall Blacks call-up later on, and has since shown he can scale into a bigger offensive role in pro basketball, including scoring in double figures internationally.[1][13] If a team wants a long, experienced guard/wing who can space the floor and understands how to fit into a system without needing the ball in his hands, he’s the kind of sneaky-good pickup that can make a roster look smarter.
