The kid is probably 2 years away from being ready. Doesn't have the strength to finish after contact, Jump shot has yet to translate, and needs to develop a mid-range shot.

The experience and struggles he's dealing with in his first year will play a big role in his development and growth in the off-season. I'm hoping to see his game translate by year 2 and polished by year 3.

I'm trying real hard not to judge him right now because we're basically watching a natural scorer struggle to make shots. We're going to have to be real patient with him.

He's not even getting open and his shots aren't falling when he does.

I said before the draft even went down, we needed to hit on both the 1 and 10 picks this year considering our flops the past 6-7 years

That's a lot of developing for a lottery pick. Geez what were the Hornets thinking?
