2621990, I don't think the question is whether he's a solid piece or not.

The kid can shoot, he's a perfect piece for Hoiberg, and he fits the current style of the NBA.
The questions are twofold:
1. Is he a star? I think he's a safe piece, but there are questions regarding just how good he'll be.
2. Was he the right pick at 7th? I would've picked him around 10th/11th personally, and I felt passing in particular on Dennis Smith Jr for Markkanen seemed *very* questionable given the team's glaring need for a point guard. Odds are if you answer yes to #1, you feel okay about #2 as well... but the iffier you are on #1, the more scared you probably are of #2.
