What do you think Monty's plan is for AD?

He's clearly reluctant to play AD and Ryno together now, and while it hasn't happened enough for me to notice how well it works, IIRC the advanced stats show that it doesn't work well. Obviously AD can and will put on more weight, but how much? Do you think Monty will have him focus on his post game/putting on weight? His jumper and help defense? All of those things? What if he does work on all of those things this season and the offseason, but comes back to start next season with 5lbs more muscle, a slightly improved post game, and a noticeably better jumper (which is already pretty good for a rookie big). Mostly, what I'm getting at, is what happens next season if, around the trade deadline, all indications say that AD isn't a full time center and 2 of our 3 best players are playing the same position? If Monty gives it more time, what happens if that holds true near the 2015 deadline?

the way the roster is set up presently, it seems like he is gonna have to play significant minutes at center. I still think that's the plan for him.
i understand why others think he's a PF all the way, but I see Davis playing a lot at C before I see Anderson playing a lot at SF

I hope AD spends a good amount of time practicing a jump hook and a few basic post moves. If he gains 10-15 lbs before next season he will be able to be a part-time center at least. Over time, he should gain enough weight to be a full time center. We will need a guy like Lopez for the at least 3-4 years to take some of the beating from Howard, Pek, Drummond, etc. I can't wait to see how this all works out in the future.
