Based upon what we saw even before this stretch, and from the scouting videos before we drafted him, I had my doubts about his ceiling given his weaknesses for the position he plays (ball handling, decision making/tentativeness going to the basket/shooting).
His strengths (defense/length especially, and vision) have overshadowed them when he's been good, but the drawbacks to his game were always going to be a question mark.
However, he is 19 years old playing in a demanding position for young players, on a team that is increasingly struggling, in general.
He isn't a terrible player, but he has flaws that the NBA can magnify compared to elsewhere.
I still think he can be a good player, and can get better as a scoring threat, but it's been difficult to see that changing enough to become a top 2 way NBA guard and more likely a good/rotation 3 and D player, which is valuable, but for a top 10 pick is a fairly low level of potential. However, sometimes shooting for the moon late in the lotto can backfire and rotation players of this type do have their value, especially young players with growth potential of some kind now all considered "assets" for deals, etc. under the new NBA CBA.
His age is playing a lot into potential factoring, it seems, so hopefully that works in our favor in the next season or so as he develops physically as well as mentally to the NBA, at least.
