Once he gets it all figured out, he can be a dominant playmaker. Still working on not getting in foul trouble but playing good D at the same time takes a little while to master.
Last night, kid had four fouls at halftime. They put him in late in the third quarter, and he picked up his fifth foul in thirty seconds, and it was a really silly foul out on the floor, away from the basket.
He has a uniquely skilled game for a guy his size. Good handles, nice touch on his jump shot, and his passing and shot blocking skills are elite. The only first year player I've seen so far that's better is the Doncic kid at Dallas. He has got to get better at playing defense without fouling though, because that's keeping him off the court, and it's getting to a point where it's becoming a reputation, so anything close, the refs are always going to hit him with a whistle. Gasol gets away with a lot because he has a reputation for being a good defender, but JJJ gets called for everything because he has a reputation for fouling.
