I think Jimmy will exceed expectations.

In a lot of ways, he is the antithesis of what we have seen lately at the forward slot - very experienced, big frame, not the most athletic (though certainly not unathletic either), hopefully a very cerebral and well-rounded player who can do a bit of everything...kinda the opposite of Alan Griffin...

many of the recent and less recent forwards have many of the same qualities...but we havent seen a player with his profile recently for the Orange...

I expect him to excel in the mental part of the game and [I]how his individual play fits into the fabric of the team[/I] - which, to me, aside from just plain ability - is the key to doing well in orange...and an area that so many players for the orange have not been strongest in, understandably.

The players who can think fastest - while also executing the scheme as it is designed - make the most impact.  I think he will be a good scorer, passser etc on offense and that he will not be a player other teams can ignore. and on defense, i expect he will know the zone well enough to be in the right place at the right time and use his size to advantage...

I dont see much risk that he wont be an asset and see a chance he could be a big asset.
