I know many people thought he was drafted too high.
Sets good screens. Slow but decent mobility with his footwork. Developing a decent hook similar to what Koufos has. Can hit mid range shots.
Defensively he's a big body and he takes up a lot of space. So sometimes he can change shots or get in the way a bit, but a skilled big can go around him.
Not bad considering he's 19.
Should get a better tell about what he can do maybe by mid-season or so next year.
Don't be surprised if he looks a lot better then. Certainly has some tools to work with, but he's not there yet.
May be a good idea to keep him in the D league for awhile next season. He's one of those guys if you are patient may turn into something worthwhile.
