Jarred Vanderbilt Thread

So I wanna talk about Vanderbilt about his potential and what I can see him bring to this team and I want to hear your guys opinion aswell and as the season progresses and we get more tape on him regardless if it's from the G-league or nba when he gets his chance.
For me as soon as we drafted him and I looked him up I have thought he is our future starting 4. Fans have been discussing is it lyles,junacho who is our starting 4 (long term) after millsap isn't on this team anymore altough i think we will re-strcutre his deal, for me neither of them are but Vanderbilt instead. IMO you can't have a bad defensive 4 on this team with Jokic and we desperatly need an elite defender like all-nba after millsap is done and IMO where I envision Vanderbilt defensive ceiling I can see him being an all-nba defender If he reaches the hypothetically ceiling I have for him and why I am saying "hypothetically" is becuase it's too early and we haven't seen much of him but it's all guessing on my part so far. Now, I don't think he will ever be a good offensive player I see his offensive game somewhat of a kenneth faried, pretty limited but that is fine as long as he can be an elite defender like I think and an elite rebounder. (he has crazy college rebounding stats) We all know how well Jokic and faried played together so I can see something similar.
An other thing is he is a playmaker which is great since jamal isn't the best so with him and Jokic we have even more leeway with that murray is an average playermaker as a PG and it could lessen the burden on Jokic. I would say if he develops he will be like faried on offense but he will bring draymond green's versatility and intangibles but maybe he could develop his offensive and be a decent shooter and being a ok 3P shooter.
It's funny how many teams want to have a player like draymond green and people think how he was a second rounder IMO we have gotten possibly the new draymond green and also in the second round lol
I saw someone ask him on a AMA that he and welsh were holding and asked him about a practice where he was shooting james harden like stepback 3's and said he wants the 3 to be apart of his game in the NBA I will link the thread. https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/9hhfuy/ama_denver_nuggets_thomas_welsh_and_jarred/
I think he will fit in great with this team when he catches up with the nba game/pace but it will take time so we need to have patience and hopefully he will be healthy and those foot injuries won't be recurring since he has had a couple.
Sry for the tl;dr :p I think he can be realistically like kenneth faried on offense and bring draymond green's versatility and intangibles.
It seems like we will get updates on him today so I wanted to make this and have for a while. https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/aiq0pg/kosmider_jarred_vanderbilt_the_secondround_pick/
I think if he and MPJ become healthy and develop, we will be the biggest winners of the draft.
