    What's the best/worst case scenario at his peak...I know there's upside, but what are we talking about here:

    Best case: Samuel Dalembert
    Worst case: Johan Petro?

    What's the range here??

    Hopefully he matures in Austin and can learn to defend without fouling.

    I haven't seen enough of him to know what to expect long term. I can't tell from watching bits and pieces.

    He's not as good as Petro at this point, so immediate expectations have to be low.

    D-league for a few stints. NBA practice and bench the rest of the year. Hopefully he can come back the following year and be a 10th man.

    It worked with one guy on the Spurs.

    D-League the next two years. I'd be surprised to see him play more than 20 NBA games before the 2009-10 season. By that point, though, hopefully he's developed into a useful player.

    Right now he looks to me like a rawer yet more well built version of Steven Hunter.

    If he puts up Eddy Fobbs-type numbers I'll be happy.

    If he puts up Amir Johnson numbers, I'd be shocked. Then again, so would the Spurs since they were ready to give up on Mahinmi for Amir.

    I'm not expecting 19 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks in his first year in Austin.

    Spot on. I'd like it if he can play 33 mpg without fouling out.

    Practice every day against Tim, go play every night in Austin. Best of both worlds.

    Expectations - take the above seriously, work hard, and quit fouling so much.

    Francisco Elson numbers.

    I would think a practice dummy could do even that.

    I expect to see images of African-American females in bikinis until I cut turn off signatures in this forum.
