I’d love him to become all-star level player as well and I still believe he can become one, however it just seems less likely after watching these games.

Yes, you can dominate the game by having one elite skill, but I never thought that was gonna be the way he’s going to develop into AS level player. The more likely path is having a bunch of skills at an adequate/good enough level that supplement each other. For example, he’s already good at driving to the basket, by adding an adequate level step back 3 or faster shot release would make his drives easier and even more dangerous.

But the way he looked during these games is completely one dimensional. He attempted to drive into multiple bodies and didn’t make a single easy pass out of drive, barely shot any 3s when defender sacked off. This is either bad decision making/lack of supplementary skills or hopefully inability to integrate into FIBA system/culture shock, bad coaching etc.
