    I would rather compare him to an actual player, since we don't know who will be the top 5 in 5 years.

    Pau is not the 3rd best pf. Did you see Dorsey getting easy buckets on him ?

    assuming he bulks up this offseason i say hes' around an efficient 14/8 with a block or steal and some threes. along with his non-box score impact, that's good enough for top 15,which is perfect.

    plz bulk up dmo

    Right now he could average 17/8 on a team that would need a big man and used as a 2nd option. I can see him doing 22/8 at his peak to be honest. Like a finesse zach randolph that isn't as good of a rebounder

    I think he can be a good #3 offensive option, 17-18 ppg

    Pau averaged 17, 9 and 2 at the age of 21.

    He then won two rings as the second best player.

    I'd say Luis Scola with much better defense. Hopefully his midrange game gets as good as Luis but if not it's okay being that we never ever take midrange shots anyways.

    I would say 15/6-7 in an offense that uses him as a 2nd or 3rd option and 18/6-7 as a primary option. Even as the tallest player on our team and without Howard, he is still such a ****ty rebounder.

    I cant see him completely blossoming here with the low post looks they have to give to Howard

    If you sort the list by 'value added' or 'estimated wins added' then Donuts is 28 or 27 on the list. That seems a lot fairer to me.

    His ceiling is probably David West lite (say 15 and 7 with defence)

    Just talking box scores I think his ceiling is 18 points, 7 rebounds, 54% FG, 33% 3PT (on 2 3PTA/G) at 35 mpg.

    That's ceiling, mind you.

    oh, if u dont take dwight, hoarden, etc into account then he's def a 20/10. but i dont think he'll be good enough for a 2nd option for a contender. 3rd option easy, he just needs to bulk up

    DMo's ceiling is through the roof. It's unattainable.
