He's a complete waste of immense talent at this point - that's they type of player he is. He has a very low BBIQ, but his physical talent is obvious. He really needs to become a C, but is far too thin to make that happen yet.

He's that player that goes out and goes for 25 and 15 one night, then doesn't play for a week......

FWIW, I don't think he gets enough credit for the work he has put in in the weight room. Before and after NY, he looked totally different. He looked John Hensonish in GS. I thought he looked much bigger when he showed up in Minnesota. This is probably as big as he can get. Quite frankly, I think its fine. Not everyone is going to fill out perfectly. Thinner players have found success. Like its been said, his physical tools aren't really in question and he can still show up and make 25-15 look routine. He needs to find a coach that believes in him and a system for him. Consistent minutes might be the key for his development. He clearly doesn't respond to the bench very well. Perhaps going to a bad team that has no real choice, but to play him might be the best thing for him.

Seems like he'll work hard. Didn't see a whole lot of him -- definitely must not be a coaches favorite player because he has never seen much time. Is talented/athletic but he must be unable to grasp concepts which limits his playing time.

He'll have a good game or a good play, and you react like

, then he starts taking bad shots, dribbling the ball up the court not passing to anyone driving to the hoop missing the layup, offensive goaltending, defensive goaltending and you react like :crazy:

He does try hard though. He will hustle.

I like him and think he could be a very solid player. The issue is that he doesn't have enough weight to play Center and we have Klove and Dwill at PF so it's tough to get him solid minutes.

He needs to find a place where they can play him mostly at PF and Center depending on the matchup.

He has a brain issue, doesn't understand team ball. Other than that he's great... they may bring him back for the minimum, nobody really cares though. I think that sums it up.
