For a man his size, he's playing like he's 5'4" when he's in the paint. Shooting 47.6% within 3 feet of the basket, almost 15% below his career mark. Guys I've never heard of block his shot with ease; the days of dominant Boogie in the post are definitely over.
I won't say he's completely washed. He has skills. But I'm not sure he has a place on a legitimately contending roster in 2021. Not unless that place is 8-10 minutes a game max as the 10th or 11th guy. If he's willing to take a dramatically reduced role and play a very specific part, I could maybe see him being a fit in the right spot. But I wouldn't take the chance if I was a contender.
