Overall impressions so far? Any surprises? See him cracking the rotation? What does he need to improve on?

    He needs to hit his shots. He is not hitting enough shots.

    He’ll develop his shots to hit more consistently eventually, not expecting much this first year

    Wasn’t high on him when we drafted him. I’ve seen flashes of what his game can potentially be in the League. If he maxes out his potential he can be a slightly more athletic Kyle Korver. I think we should send him to the G League to develop & get more acclimated to the speed of the League

    Liked the pick, still do but I will say I expected slightly less growing pains as part of the rotation

    Yes the shots haven’t fallen and that’s unfortunate but i’m certain they’ll start to drop and all the other things, namely decisionmaking (people forget Dick was the one who dished out that pass to Scottie on the perimeter) and his hustle are good signs - plus we might go trial by fire depending on what direction this team goes and depending on if we keep or trade Gary Trent Jr.

    Defense is an issue but he’s a rookie and he did a good job of not fouling out in the clutch when he was closing

    He’s 19…

    He will improve, he was one of the youngest players in this year’s draft, it’s going to take him time to grow and evolve, be patient…there will be ups and downs but in 2-3 seasons I think he’s going to be a monster

    He gets lost on offense. When the ball goes through him and he doesn’t have a quick shot, he doesn’t know where to go next. So far it’s “he’s been nothing, not good, not bad”. He’s doesn’t have a lot of impact on this team, which is ok for now. But hopefully by mid season we can get a few ppg from him consistently.

    He’s 19 and has a lot to learn. Darko isn’t playing him much which is fine. There are older guys on the roster and it would be disrespectful to them and he’d lose the teams trust by giving away time to a kid.

    He’ll have to earn his minutes, but I think he will. And if he gets smarter/stronger on defense, he’ll easily be a starter. His offensive game is legit. He even likes to put it on the floor and try to create which is good dimension for a guy so young.

    needs some time in the 905 to get more in-game rhythm shots up, and to work on defense.
