What were his combine numbers? Those are vetted pretty exhaustively.
As for his play. . . consider me pleasantly surprised. He still looks like a PF to me. I really like the Boris Diaw comparison, but physically, I think he's much more athletic than Diaw. I honestly can't think of a good comp for him because he's not really like any other player that I've seen.
He needs time and experience at the PF position to learn how to defend and box out bigger players inside. Not worried about that at all. He looked exactly like I'd expect a player who is used to defending smaller guys on the perimeter to look in his first real solid time inside.
