So far I really love what I've seen from him. I think he's going to surprise a lot of folks around here. He may not get much time in his rookie season, but his size and his mobility really stand out for me. That kid just moves really well for a guy his size.
Everyone is saying that he's not very smart, but I think he'll be plenty smart enough to play center the way Doc will want him to, defense first, defense second, and after that more defense. Already, in the preseason, I saw him working on showing and hedging on the pick and roll, which I think he has the physical tools to do better than any big on our team not named Kevin Garnett.
On top of that, I really like his attitude and demeanor. He just seems to have a personality that is going to mesh well with the group of guys on the Celtics.
Time will tell. I've been let down before, but for now I'm keeping my hopes high for the young Brazilian. To be honest, I'm more excited about Fab than Sully at this point.
