Semih Erden on NBATV

Just an fyi....
Just watched a Euroleague game on NBATV with Semih playing. Hope a couple others saw it to add their opinions.
This guy looks years away from coming over. He's at least 2 years behind POB. Basically looked like a tall high schooler running around.
The good - Very tall and also very long. Runs the floor well and has a little more strength than POB but didn't use it. Good footwork, seems to be comfortable in the low post although his team didn't use it. Only had 2 shots but they were strong to the hoop moves.
The not so good - Was boxed out on every shot on his own defensive boards and just stood behind the guy. No understanding on how to block shots. Just kind of ran around on offense, never established himself to receive the ball. Played about half the game and had no impact, just 2 shots, maybe one rebound.
Just one game, and it was the last pick in the draft, but I don't see why Ainge picked this guy unless he sees him as spending several years in Europe.
