The team comp was just not favorable to his skill set. He's a role player at this level and next (yes, I think he's a future NBA player), not a guy you dump the ball off to and expect buckets. He would've tremendously benefited from guards who can run an effective pick and roll, or drive and dish.HoopDreams said:
both scouting reports were dead on. much too much criticisms of him on cal boards. however I understand it was frustrating watching him sometimes because you can see how good he is, but he was inconsistent and couldn't stay on the floor due to undisciplined fouls and too many turnovers.
Not all of us. I said second rounder, will have NBA career. He is and will be a role player, not someone to carry a team run by an incompetent coach and with either inexperienced or poor teammates. Fits nicely into the NBA as a poor man's Clint Capela.HoopDreams said:

Are you referring to the criticism once he came to Cal? If so, I agree there was a lot, but most of it was accurate and warranted and summed up pretty well by yourself.HoopDreams said:
