Discussions here really don't matter. At all. But even still, I dont recall any discussions here that ever said this. If you can find it link it.
As far as discussions "elsewhere"? Ok...where???
And even looking at his NBL stats, I don't know who said they were bad, because they're not. He averaged 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in 20 games and 23 minutes per game off the bench. And he only missed games due to a calf injury. So he was in the regular rotation for the best team in the NBL. He had a couple big games, hit some big shots, and had some key defensive stops in his first exposure to pro basketball as a 20 year old. And the NBL isn't some developmental league. Long time NBA vets play there. Andrew Bogut was on his team. The program Didi, RJ Hampton, and Lamelo Ball were in just started a few years ago.
So basically, I don't know where all this is coming from and it seems you are just making stuff up for your own opinion.
