Soon is stretching it. He’s at least a year away.


And we expected that. I thought he needed to play in the G-league to get his experience, but he'd be much better served taking his lumps this season with the team. He'll figure it out. He's 19. I think if you played him consistently, by the time 2020 comes around, he'll easily be better than both Favors and Okafor.

What he needs to work on is not something you'd work on in the offseason, like a post move or extending your shooting range, or dribbling.
He simply needs to learn how to play at the speeds of the NBA game, rebounding against stronger people, and better decision making defensively.

This is the #1 reason that he isn't playing over Okafor and Favors. He just needs to spend an offseason lifting, and he's going to be elite.
