He's a nice guy version of Gerald Green. I hope he can take his game to another level. As it stands, I'm not convinced.
he is a better jumshooter then lebron and others in their age + he has a very nice step back jumper well see
Its hard to tell what he's good at right now. His shooting this season has been poor, 43% 2FG and 56% FT. He also doesn't contribute a whole lot in the other stats departments, as he has a combined 4.5 rebound + assist per game total. He does look to have keen defensive instincts though. I like that part of his game.
The sad truth is he was unfairly overhyped, with everyone on the edge of their seats waiting for the next MJ/Kobe/Vince/etc. type player to come in an tear it up. He hasn't shown any where close to that level of ability. Gerald Green is a fair comparison. That's not what people want or were expecting though.
Like I've said, he's an intelligent defender, and can also run the floor well, which should translate to some easy buckets. To be fair, he is a rookie who needs seasoning. He is overmatched right now. He will contribute on D, but needs to learn how to be a team player on offense, and be willing to take over with his athleticism when he's able. He's got a ways to go. I'm pulling for him. Same as I am for Exum. I hope they figure it out and become stars. A lot of growth is needed though.
