I actually watched the show specifically so that my wife could tell that a marriage with me would never work.

It backfired and here she is, happily (supposedly) married to the guy whos friends used to call him Rafi.

Another clip. He’s moving alot faster with the ball.
Is it just me but I feel he looks much more smoother. There is so much potential in him and so excited to have him. I’m so happy we didn’t get Green nor Cade and Mobley came to us.

It is going to be fun to see his progress and development throughout the season and years to come.
 
Watching him in that pick up game he's going to have to learn he has to put a body on somebody when a shot goes up. I know it's a lost art, but I would drill that into his head as a coach. So excited for him though.

One reason why he’s not a great rebounder yet…
 
I never watched a lot of his game film...wasn't an NBA guy until past his prime. But what do you all think about Chris Webber as a player comp? Haven't heard his name mentioned anywhere. I don't think Bosh is quite right and obviously KD is downright stupid.

Nope!! Definitely not in the Chris Webber mode!

Looking at this video, do you guys think he can play SF? why or why not?

IMO, his handles are good, he's quick enough, and we know he can guard that position.
 
I think he can be a good situational defender against 3's. I don't think his feet are that quick on the defensive end, but his length obviously helps.

I actually see him as the opposite of Okoro. Okoro is very good at positioning and anticipation, he guards on-ball about as well as he can, but doesn't have the length to contest all shots.

Guys will be able to get a lot of separation from Mobley when he's on an island but with his length he can recover and contest (both at basket and on perimeter).

I also think you will all be very disappointed with his handle. That should have been obvious in summer league as it was in college.

Just because you "can" doesn't mean you "should". Every big in the NBA has handles that would probably surprise a lot of people. Just look at Andre Drummond. In a vacuum he "could" but as we all saw he definitely "shouldnt've".

Too high, too loose, too predictable. Once guys see the tape and put a body on him he's toast.

He’s playing lots of 3 v 3 & just pick up style ball. His handles would not work in 5 v 5 nba where the floor shrinks a lot. I also think he’d struggle chasing wing shooters around screens on d. IMO he’s has the potential to be a great 4/5 why would you play him at a position where he’s likely just mediocre?
