High End: Cam Johnson Low End: Justin Jackson/Tyler Lydon Median outcome: Georges Niang Pros: Shooting, off-ball scoring, rebounding, size, feel Cons: Athleticism, shot creation Verdict: Alex Karaban has been a proven weapon on multiple championship caliber teams, but his limitations are finally highlighted now that he is playing in a weaker roster. His role on an NBA team is clear as a movement shooter off the wing while also scoring off ball through his movement and cutting. Karaban rebounds quite well and also gets a lot of blocks because of his instinctual feel on defense. Other than that, Karaban should stand a chance against guarding wings with his frame, but his lateral quickness definitely prevents him from being an ideal 3&D wing.
RANK
Very good shooter. Experienced. Can create off the dribble well for his athletic limitations. Can handle it fairly well. Defense is iffy but should improve as the season goes on.

Alex Karaban's role hasn't changed despite the departures of Donovan Clingan, Tristen Newton, Cam Spencer and Stephon Castle.
And it shouldn't—he isn't a ball-handler or creator, but the career 39.4 three-point percentage, movement shooting and strong finishing point to an easy-fit, off-ball scorer.
