He is the play I am soo looking forward to seeing how he develops this year and in the off-season. Great instincts, isn't fast defensively but makes up for it in positioning and playing angles. He actually turns, puts a butt on someone and boxes out. Better shot blocker than expected. Offensively he is so skilled. He is our best screener, has a polished back to the basket game and has a sweet mid-range jumper.
His problem is just getting used to the speed of the game. Notice how he got better as the game went on.
In this off season I wouldn't want him to lose any weight. I'd simply want him to get to 12% body fat or less, tone up and really work on lateral quickness. I firmly believe that this kid by next year could become a Marc Gasol type guy and possibly be a lottery pick. Even at the end of this year I think his improvement will be astronomical.
