So is he coming over this year or does he have some kind of buyout with his current club? Im still confused on that one aspect...
Looks way too weak. Say hello to Dwight Howard Motie. If he plays against him, he's going to get crucified.

Exactly what I was thinking. The guys defending him looked like walking sticks. If you zoomed out it could be a bug fight, two walking sticks going at it. He has the moves, but he better bulk up if he wants to be anything we want him to be. NBA defends are much better.. Alot of random dunks and passes and steals too, I don't trust any of it because it's compiled over a season. Might give the wrong impression.
He's a PF, not a center -- so Dwight will not be guarding him. Even if Dwight does guard him, he'd be trying to guard him on the 3PT line, where he shot 40% from. This kid's the real deal -- in two years, he could be something special. I'm a big fan.
Don't see him getting much time at the 5. And who cares if he gets destroyed by Dwight. Every other ****ing center in the NBA does. Except Yao.

Have you ever seen Yao Ming at age 20 in the 2000 Olympics? Being lanky is hardly a problem as long as the body can add more muscle.
because of course you are an expert. The italian league is actually very competitive, actually more competitive than our College game today.
He reminds me a good bit of Kevin McHale back in his day. Maybe with Kevin's coaching we may see a similar result? Wishful thinking I'm sure.
that's what I thought too. Keep hearing people compare him to dirk who's a 4 also. Its obvious he's not a 5, not with his skillset and build. So the Dwight argument is pointless.
