The easiest way to slow him in college was to bang in the post against him. Threw him off 95% of the time. Harder to accomplish in college, but NBA bigs will be able to bang more easily against him.

Without an adjustment and a desire to fix that big time weakness, he's no more than someone who could start as, like, a 4th or 5th man at absolute best. If he learns how to play more physically, he could become a really valuable commodity quickly, cuz he moves well, works hard, and has pretty good touch and short jumpers for a guy his size.
