He is inactive right now. Unless he's actually injured, which doesn't appear to be the case, I'd say that he should at least be active. I think that Brad comes back especially, Kenny should move to the inactive list. Still, there could've been minutes for him right now with Cisco out. But then again, I'm not totally sure of how ready he is for those minutes.

He's a year, probably two away from seeing consistent BACK-UP minutes IMO. I think he has potential, but it'll take years to tap it. (That's what she said).

At this point, he really is far, far away from contributing significantly. Defensively he's missing rotations, loses track of his man and is really not enough help on the glass, especially considering his lenght and athleticism. However, after having hear Theus' comments about him basically not knowing a thing about defense, I was pleasently surprised at his on the ball defense. Although he is too easy to goad into jumping for a block, in a few instances his man defense looked passable.
Offensively, he lacks awareness, commiting turnovers by being out of bounds, travelling violations on his initial dribble or being picked when trying to bring the ball up (he really shouldn't do that, like, ever). I did like his passing, though and he might become a good shooter (he already is, the shot selection is just not there yet).
Anyway, a bit of seasoning, two years sounds reasonable, and he'll be ready to contribute. (this is all based off the preseason of course)

And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
