I’m still curious as to what position he will play out of the gate as he isn’t ready to play center full time and will get overwhelmed by other bigs. Even someone like Mobley as good as he is on defense gets pushed around sometimes.

He already came out and said he don't want to play center, he playing the four.

At first I thought he was going to come in and drop 25 and 10 from game 1. But upon further research I think there’s going to be some injury issues with this kid until his body catches up physically.

Apparently he’s been some what injury prone already. Also,
He is a career 30% 3 pt shooter, so there is still a lot that needs to be worked on in terms of his shooting.

There some stat out there that players over 7’3 in the NBA have struggled staying healthy. Only a handlfful of players that tall have had semi long careers - Yao Ming, Ralph Sampson, Sabonis, Porzingis. And although these men have had good careers they all had issues with injuries that would cut their careers a bit short
