He's got excellent physical tools. If he'd been drafted at 19 years of age instead of 22-23 He'd have been a very intriguing prospect. Unfortunately he wasn't. He's turning 25 a month into the season and has yet to provide much of a sample size to prove he's an NBA caliber player. This season is obviously make or break. If he doesn't break through this season the likelihood he ever will is vanishingly small.
