    Thats what I was under the impression of from reading all the recent news of him. Theres no way he openly says, hed join a d-leauge team just for A CHANCE to join the big league team next year. He has way too many options.

    He's still 18% 3 point shooter...
    Not an NBA level player, and I doubt if will ever be one.

    I think you're probably right about this.

    Yeah, there were rumors in Italy about him being depressed or something similar, don't really know if that's true or not but yeah, seems like he's eventually out of that now.

    We need another athletic big (PF/C) who can run the PnR, rebound and protect the paint.

    He will not be useful in the nba and he needs to play significant minutes or he gets frustrated and fight with the coaches like he did in Greece and Israel the last couple of years.
    His size and relatively good athletisizm (before the injury) gave him an edge in europe against smaller guards, but he never learned to shoot or improve his skills. He's not a young prospect anymore that you can develop. He is what he is now at 25 and that is not an nba player.
    And Im saying that sadly because I loved what he could become when he was drafted. He made a mistake by not coming to the nba sooner and i think he knows it by now.
