Hanifin was getting sheltered minutes and defensive play has always been a concern with him and while he's probably equal to Hamilton in the transition game he doesn't have the same offensive upside as Hamilton. Both players have upside but "more" upside than Hamilton and Fox? I don't think so as it's a pretty even trade in regards to upside.

I don't think Fox's upside should be part of the equation. As far as the equation is concerned, pre-trade and post-trade, it's the same. Essentially 0 compared with 0. We haven't lost his upside, as it seems we didn't have it to begin with.
