Most euro busts at his age don't get the minutes he did and perform as well as he did. Most eurobusts perform well in the under 18 leagues and in weaker euro leagues, but when it comes time for eurocup, they can barely get off the bench.
That's encouraging. I don't know the history of eurobusts or eurocup very well.
I'm concerned about his strength if he has to play the 4, and his lateral quickness if he has to play the 3. He gets props for his handle, but he looks so awkward to me (again, on youtube) that I don't see it being a plus in the NBA. His release looks slow, and I don't like his shot, which, again, concerns the hell out of me. His passing (the highlights, at least) looks fantastic. I love the elbows he throws, and I love the enthusiasm, even if he can't dance a lick. But he seems, to me, like a tweener. He won't survive (or want to be) down low, and he can't defend, or shoot, from the perimeter.
