I'm pretty much in agreement with the assessments of him here. He has a great personality as person. He handles himself very well in public. Something a lot of players in the league could learn from. I wish he was more aggressive on the court as a player but on the other hand he is kind of fragile. I'd like to see him around the league longer and hope that this injury doesn't finish his career.

Of course,because he's gentle and good-mannered. Inspite of his size,he has a good shooting touch from the perimeter and the free throw line,he's also a good passer. although he lacks the athleticism of the american players,he more than make up for this with his good basketball sense which is an important factor in playing competitive basketball.

He is good, I will give him that. But thats it. He is good, not great. For his size, he should be dominant. I know he is an All-Star, but look at him. He jumps like 2 inches to dunk. He is not anywhere near his potential. He is weak and not very aggressive, I mean he gets blocked a fair amount by taking little hook shots. Being 7'9" he should't be taking shots that often, let alone get blocked. And now with his foot injury, he might not even play again. He is a good player, but not the force that he could be.
