"Ryan fits in real well just because his skill set is crucial to what we do," D'Antoni said. "He's a four and then we get the benefit also [that] he not only stretches it out to the 3-point line, he stretches it a couple feet beyond that. He's 6-10 and rebounds the ball pretty well. He's everything you want with a stretch four, and we have to have that type of player in our system."
