I think you're viewing the point a bit too traditionally. He's in the Giannis/Lebron mold. His ability to grab boards and immediately push it up in transition and get easy buckets for himself or others is already among the best in the league, and that's very valuable and very difficult to stop for opposing teams without conceding second chance possessions. He's also been effective on pick n rolls in half court offenses as well.

There's only a handful of guys in the league who can do anything about that one on one, and his all world passing ability will shred any double teams. He's gonna wreck shit. He's already been dominant more often than not and he's still learning how to play and what he can do. Gonna be awesome when he puts it all together in a year or two.
