Does anyone think he is worth gambling on from the Spurs point of view? Meaning, does anyone see him as good enough to give up considerable assets for?

Comparable to the likes of Antawn Jamison, Boris Diaw, Jeff Green and Michael Beasley.

He doesn't have superstar written all over him, and since that's the case, he's not worth dismantling the team for. For that, you need a John Wall/Blake Griffin sure fire future All Star player. You can't roll the dice.

Has anyone seen this guys play? Not just an athlete but shot almost 60% behind the arch. Rebounds, defends, can block shots play the 3 or 4. The only question I have is heart. He has all the skills to be great. He should be the number one pick if Clv was smart.

He'll be good. I'm just not convinced he'll be great. I don't think he was even great at AZ. All that talent, and only 19.5 ppg in the NCAA? He strikes me as a VERY talented player who will be a good #2, or on a stacked team, maybe a #3. Some guys just don't want to step into the lead, guys like Lamar Odom, KG, and now apparently LeBron. They just won't step up and say "Climb on my back and I'll take you there". It's not in their makeup.

Yeah I agree with the Climb on my back statement although he did that a couple times with game winning plays last year. I like his overall skill set, He reminds me of a very athletic David West. I would love to see the Spurs get him somehow and play him at the 3 and 4. Hes a good defender as well.

Unfortunately, the #2 pick makes a LOT, especially on the back end of the rookie deal.

I really hope the Spurs somehow end up with this guy. He improved leaps and bounds during his time at Arizona and will only get better.
