Right now he's nowhere close to being as good as Sullinger - i.e. he's been a big zero - but I wouldn't give up on him just yet.  He's still young.

I'm a little confused by the title because he's only played 1 year in the NBA so far and most of that season he was in Maine.

Watching him in summer league, I have the same opinion I had at the end of last season. He's got the physicality and raw skills to be a productive NBA player but he sometimes looks like a kid who lost his parents at the mall. Whether he makes it will be a question of whether or not he gets NBA basketball, mentally.

Garbage. Poor man's big baby Davis. Can't finish around the rim. Just okay versus scrubs. Cut him loose.

I don’t see him ever developing into a valuable NBA player.

Y’all should pay attention to what I say because I said the same thing about Avery Bradley and Terry Rozier.

Not even sure he starts there. He's nowhere near the player Theis is, and he only played about 20 minutes a game. https://www.basketball-reference.com/euro/players/daniel-theis-1.html

Sullinger looks to be a high goal for him.

I’d be surprised if he ever turns out to be a regular rotation player. Maybe a 9-10th man at best?

So far he hasn't shown enough to get our hopes up. There are some physical skills there that could be useful if he can improve. This year is key for him, he needs to show some growth. I sort of look at him as a second year guy, the year in China seems to have been a waste, so last year was the first year for him playing high level basketball.

I never really had much expectations for the guy, but he still managed to be a huge disappointment. That's how awful he is.
