He was garbage for this. Maybe he has good stat in Europe but in NBA he couldn't guard any point guard
So, no D, no O, he is not enough dangerous at this time to be effective even with pick n roll plays cauz everybody knows that you only got to guard the other and let him space to shoot or go to the rim .....to win against him.
Everybody knows he has a great felling for the game, but the other aspects of his game are poor at this time. He only got credit cauz he is very young and can improve but in my mind he is like so many young talent that will never develop enough the other aspects of their game through the years.
I project a big flop. And the way he doesn't want to play for the T-Wolves will be ironical in many years. Believe me, its 50/50 that he will be the biggest flop of the NBA( even bigger than Kwame Brown cauz he wasn't pretencious).

Seems like you put some thought into your posts, however:
There big difference between europe/olympics and the nba is gone (albeight a couple of rules and the court sizes).
Teams have cought up, if you can do it in europe (spain/euroleague), you're VERY likely to be able to perform in the nba.
Don't you think they went under the picks in europe? Don't you think they would've attacked the kid if his D was that bad?
Yes, the nba game is based on 1-1 match ups a bit more and no, they guy is not a great shooter, but he's a star on his team and takes the team close to a chip.
His stats were never great (cept the u18/u20 outbursts) but he makes the team go, note when he was injured last season, the team collapsed, he ain't a circus act.
He won't be that kobe/wade dude on your team, from what I've seen he's a true point, doesn't need the shine but does get your team the W,
Jason Kidd steez.
