“Saddiq is a team player”, insists Quin Snyder. “And players like that can sometimes have an impact on the group. He shoots at 3-pts and it’s not nothing. He’s not obsessed with it, but if he’s open, it’s a good shot. He gives himself permission to shoot and that helps us. Plus, he plays hard. He goes to the offensive rebound. He is a competitor and you can never have too many players like that. »
