This dude is definitely a future all star.
First year starting as well.
You're right on his instincts and bballIQ...wasn't he a point guard before and a point forward at UGA? As he's gotten more involved in the offense you can see those qualities more. It's even showing up in the stats as a I think he's around 3 assists a game for the second half of the season.
If he just gets stronger and improves the FT% (which has been getting better) that's an all star. With just added strength and an improved FT% (~65%) I think he levels way up offensively because there are only a few centers/PFs as quick as he is that can stay with him off the dribble and he has great touch around the basket (and has lowkey added a floater recently). If he somehow adds a jumper I don't know what his potential is.
