Do you still feel that way?

Edit: I don't think players do themselves any favors by sitting out. Athletes have to stay in game shape. Always better to play (vs sit). I'm afraid his year (not) here hurt him.

Not the same type of player or body, but IMO very similar to Oden, and also might be a lesser version of Andrea Bargnani. He doesn't have the intensity, I don't think he is tough enough and he is always injured.

To me, his best case eventual role is as a stat stuffer on a mediocre team that doesn't make the playoffs, or a middle of the road playoff team. Even without the injuries, he seems soft.

He doesn't seem dedicated enough. Just a lazy talented guy. Should have been redflags not to draft him that high when he sat out the season here after being cleared.
