Anyone still think he's not going to be successful?

He's won the matchup with both traditional & stretch bigs:
Nikola Vucevic
Myles Turner
Walker Kessler

I know its summer league & preseason, but I've liked his play & fit so far. His advanced metrics are great.

Preseason PER is 24.5.
Markdown (GitHub flavored): 
| Grade                 | PER       |
| --------------------- | --------- |
| All-time great season | 35.0+     |
| Runaway MVP candidate | 30.0–35.0 |
| Strong MVP candidate  | 27.5–30.0 |
| Weak MVP candidate    | 25.0–27.5 |
| Definite All-Star     | 22.5–25.0 |
Only 6 players would've had >24.5 PER in rookie year...Wilt, Walt Bellamy, Admiral, Oscar, MJ, & Bob Pettit. All 6 won ROTY

So we have to wait for a post-season run to see if he's actually worthy of the draft pick and make comments about his impact?

Got it.

We've seen enough 1st rounders who couldnt play a lick in the preseason so Im cautiously optimistic. Weve also seen G league players put up stats in a half speed preseason game....

But for a Top 10 pick, I want to see more than half speed preseason basketball. Can he play in space? Can his body hold up playing in space? Can he play 30 mins in the playoffs?

In fairness I’d like to see anyone on our team play 30 minutes in the playoffs
