Good analogy. One thing is that he seems to lack fire. He is very even keeled which may wind up being a positive in the long run. Sometimes it seems like he turns it on for a bit but then he goes back to sleep. He is still pretty raw and I dont expect him to be a top NBA player for a few seasons. He will be better off going to an eastern conf team where he does not have to be matched up against top center much.
