Not expecting his defense to be great from the jump. He's lightly built for an NBA shooting guard, so he's probably going to get pushed around a bit. Expect his shooting stroke to be good from the start, and we run a ton of pick and roll so he's probably going to be very useful either as a secondary ballhandler or as an outlet on kickouts or backdoor cuts. He seems like a smart player, but I'm honestly not expecting him to make much of an impact till the second half of the year just due to getting used to the increased physicality of the game and a few of the differences in how American teams run things, getting used to Thunder offense, etc.

Not clear I was sort of bummed he didn't get much burn with your national team. I do think we'll give him a chance at minutes though. Would sure make sense to.

He was scorched by Rdy Fernandez in their finals with RM in Spanish league so I believe Donovan must act wisely putting him against old wolves who know the tricks but I think he can go head to head with younger SG/SFs.

Next to no passing, mediocre at best D, probably only avg. 3 pt shooting.
