You are right about him not be expected to play this year, but unfortunately he is.  The problem with him that I have, is that I do not see the raw material that can turn into a great point even given time.  He lacks the quickness that he would need, does not have a great handle even if you allow for youth, dribbles too high and erect, does not seem too have a high basketball IQ, and does not give good entry passes to his bigs.  A year of developement might have been able to fix or improve some of those things, but I have doubts that he will be even an adequate point before at least his junior year, and then only with great improvement on his part.  I hope he does better than I expect, but I am not seeing a point that from his rating one would have expected.  Sorry to say so.
I expect he may be relegated to riding the pine unless he gets much improved by ACC play, if that becomes necessary the team will certainly struggle.  His turnovers can not be tolerated later in the season, right now he is being given every possible chance to make it.  No improvement will soon mean coach will, of necessity and perhaps desperation, be forced to try going to someone else.
