His future is in Europe, love his game but it doesn't translate to the NBA
His lack of athleticism will get him abused down low and he's nowhere fast enough to play on the perimeter. He's an adequate shooter and a savvy finisher, but his offensive game is below the rim. I wouldn't be surprised if he averages less rebounds than a teams SG or SF. on a per-minute basis. Just watch him play against Zion or Kabengele, then imagine that for 82 games a year because the NBA is full of athletic freaks.
He flourished this year because we set our entire defense up to keep him out of foul trouble and let him play PG from the high post and centered the offense around him. When you get as much usage as he did when 5 went down you're going to score a ton of points and thankfully his good enough to be up to that task.
