Just for the sake of my own curiosity, what could possibly lead you to have this opinion? I mean he's shown absolutely nothing in his year+ as a pro. He's scrawny, he can't shoot, he can't dribble, he can't pass, he can't finish around the rim, and he doesn't do much defending. He's just been a disaster. I'm firmly in the camp of these top picks should be given maximum amount of time to reach their potential, so I'm fine with the Lakers (or their fans) not giving up on him obviously, and I'm not saying he's dead to ever be good, but I just have no idea how anyone could confidently proclaim he's going to turn it around.
