That's what I'm hoping. I'd still like to see him fill out a bit, but in the modern NBA, it may actually help him that he's not carrying much extra weight on his joints and tendons.
They will have to pair him up with another big man to do the dirty work inside, as I don't think he's going to be hoovering up a lot of rebounds.
Looking at the Spurs roster right now, it doesn't look too promising. Hopefully they don't ask him to do too much right away. I do think he ended up in the best organization with the best coach to help nurture him along the way.
