Hadn't even considered Aldrich until I saw him ranked as No. 19 on Kevin Pelton's list of available free agents. But if the big names fall through, would he make sense?
Seven-footer who can rebound, block shots, shoots a high percentage and makes his free throws. He won't command anywhere near the max and at the least he would be an upgrade on Zeller.
His per-36 numbers were 14.8 pts, 13.0 reb, 3.1 blk last year, 12/12.3/2.7 in his career. He'll be 28 this season and he has limited wear and tear.
Slow and limited, sure, but seems useful in an under-the-radar way.
Sully, by the way, was a much higher-than-expected No. 8 on Pelton's list ...
