I don't think that Pierce has the body weight issues that Steve had, so he is closer physically, IMO. Steve came in without knowing how to use his size in division one basketball. I would guess that will be the bigger issue with Pierce. To your point, it took Steve some time to figure out where he should be on how to use his body in college. The year of sitting out helped him in both ways.
