Kellogg On Wilcher: "Travon is an ultra athletic guy who can play multiple positions. He has a chance to do some good things this year. He has to get acclimated to the level of play at this level and if he can do that and his athleticism can carry over to that where he can block shots, rebound and defend any position on the floor, then he'll have value in what we're trying to do."
