His biggest problems are that hype machine and the fact that picks 3,5,6,7,9,11 & a late 1st round rookie from his own team have outperformed expectations so far. But the guy has a floor as a rotation player in the NBA, which is enough for me to laugh at any Bust moniker this early.

I don't think his defense is good. And a guy barely shooting 30% is going to just cause more teams to pack the paint. The team is much worse with him on the court.
This could all be a bump in the road to a great career but if he can't shoot, he can't play in this league. His other skills just don't make up for it.
