I guess my hope for him is to be Draymond Green but with a much better ability to score the ball and more high flying athleticism. That's not a knock, I love Draymond. I just don't see offensive greatness, but like you mentioned, that can't always be judged well out of the gate.
We forget that Dirk, for all the good things he did offensively, took many years to become a solid passer out of double teams, while Shaq right off the bat was a great passer out of double teams. Everyone is different. Again, I'm with you that at least of now I don't see him being a scorer you can ride to death during a game, but the kid has clear offensive talent and let's see where he stands come year 3.
