I really want to see this guy in a game before the end of the season.
But it's highly unlikely that we will now that we've got Voskuhl for the rest of the season and there is already a log jam at that spot.

Re: Jawai
The D League is NOT a good option for this guy. I agree with Hendrix and Ozzy that Bigs are ignored in the D league which is basically a run and Gun league where guards dominate the ball and perimiter jumpers are the norm.
I would also argue that the D league is never a good option for any raptor or 75% of guys who a team has a vested intrest in, in general.
The league is great for guys who went undrafted and are trying to attain that next level and is a great tool to evaluate such players. However I am of the thinking that a player can learn much more from your own teams coaching staff, studying your system and practicing with your players.
Outside of the Lakers(L.A. D-Fenders), Spurs(Austin Toros), and the Thunder(Tulsa 66ers) who all own D league franchises players are playing an entirely different system when moving down to the D league. Also you are playing and practicing much less frequently and I would specualte that although a lot of guys would become hungrier and more determined to succeed and "make it" I can see it being a lot more relaxed enviorment where players can take nights off and quite possibly develop poor habits.
Some Times Playing isn't always the solution.
