3. He is softer than a baby's ***. Watch him try to "fight" through screens or box out. Does not like contact.
4. Maybe it's a Euro thing and he will adapt to US game. But if he doesn't,I can't see him getting much playing time with Archie.

He may not like contact, but in the game you linked, he was 10/12 from the field, 5/7 from 3, 3/3 from the line and had 28 points. He also had 5 rebounds that game. He doesn't have to guard the other teams best player, just match him up with somebody out there and hopefully his scoring ability will outweigh his defense. Some coaches I know have said Dayton got a steal. He blew up late in the process, and Dayton was on him at the right time to sign him.
