He would get destroyed at Center, though, because he doesn't have the size and his athleticism, though good, is not spectacular enough to make up for the size deficiency.  I don't think he's as slow footed as we saw last year; I think that was a product of not really knowing where to be and when.  So if he has the foot speed to stay in front of PF's (I think he does) then the rest of his game is that of a quintessential PF.  Midrange scoring is his strongpoint, he can put the ball on the deck pretty well for a PF, he can score near the rim, and he's shown willingness to step behind the 3 point line (which at least means he probably hits those shots in practice).   He's essentially CJ Fair, in my book, especially if he develops his 3 point shot like CJ eventually did.  If he plays predominately Center, he won't get the opportunity to develop his deep ball.  If he can't play PF in the NBA, then we're saying he can't play in the NBA.

Not all - or even most - NBA PF's are stretch 4's.  PF's are still PF's for the most part.  They're not just bigger SF's.  20 PF's shot passable percentages from behind the arc this year in the NBA.  Of them, about half are backups.
