Not a bad pick up....good shooter and decent perimeter defender.
We need a new coach, though.

It all depends on where his minutes come from. More Babbit, Less Stiemsma = Wins
Roberts/Rivers
Tyreke
Miller/Morrow
Babbit
Davis/Ajinca
That lineup should provide decent spacing and penetration.

In three seasons with the Trail Blazers, Babbitt averaged 3.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 126 games. He is a career 37.2 percent shooter, 36 percent from 3-point range. But Babbitt said he's a better player now than he was two years ago with the Trail Blazers, where he struggled to earn minutes.
``Sometimes the situation just doesn't work out,'' Babbitt said. ``A lot of times you have to get to your second or third team or whatever. I was playing backup to probably the best power forward in the game right now (LaMarcus Aldridge), so there weren't a ton of minutes.
``I felt like I showed some things in Portland and was able to help the team when I was on the court and I can build off that. Obviously there have been a lot of injuries here, so I'm just looking to fill in wherever I can. We've got about half of the season left and the team is playing well. I'm just coming in trying to fit in.''
...``Obviously, we've been stung by the injury bug,'' backup shooting guard Anthony Morrow said. ``We don't even talk about it anymore. But bringing in a guy like Luke, a great shooter and I knew him when he was in Portland. I'm just glad he got the opportunity because we definitely can use him. He makes a lot of shots and can spread the floor.''

“With Tyreke’s injury, (Babbitt) may have to play the three right away,” Williams said. Williams likened Babbitt’s situation to that of Pelicans center Alexis Ajinca, also a former first-round pick who took a detour from the NBA and improved as a player. Ajinca returned to the NBA in December, after two-plus seasons in Europe as he awaited an optimum situation to come back to the league.

I was just about to alert you guys of this 
He eventually got himself to be a sponsor for Taco Bell. His ceiling is probably a better post player and rebounded than Steve Novak. His floor: a worse at shooting Steve Novak
