After tearing his ACL in the 2021 NBA Finals, Saric missed the entire '21-'22 season, and was essentially traded in a salary dump to Oklahoma City after a slow start in '22-'23. He is healthy again and got a decent amount of playing time for the Warriors in '23-'24. Saric does not have an elite NBA skill, but he is an intelligent player that can affect the game in multiple ways. He has size and passing ability that can be very useful as a big. Saric has the ability to methodically get to the rim using his size in a manner similar to late-career Boris Diaw. He has historically shot below-average at the rim, but has shot a very good 72% at the rim over the past two seasons, albeit on a somewhat small sample size. His ability to stretch the floor allows him to play inside or outside, and play next to paint-clogging centers if necessary. He hit 38% from three in '23-'24, and he is a career 36% 3-point shooter. While Saric will likely never be an above-average defender due to his athletic limitations, he has been solid enough at that end to survive. He isn't a rim protector, but has enough size to at least contest some shots. You don't want him defending on the perimeter or in space too often, but that's the case with a lot of bigs, and Saric isn't a complete turnstyle like some others are. However, age and injuries might make Saric a really weak link on defense going forward. Saric will be 31 years old as a potential free agent in 2025, and it will be interesting if he can finally be the backup big that the Nuggets have always hoped would help them survive the minutes when Nikola Jokic sits.
