    He's just about as skinny, lol. Apparently he impressed during the workout circuit. Don't know much about his game though.

    Daye is very raw. He was incredibly streaky at Gonzaga, he'd go on tears and prove why he was such a highly rated prospect one game... then be nonexistant the next. He's still an obvious talent, great shot, great length, huge skillset. He just needs to get way bigger and stronger and mature. He should've stayed in school imo, but hey he's a millionaire now.

    I don't see how a 192 pound big man will pan out in the NBA. Watching Daye, he doesn't seem to exhibit many basketball skills, despite being praised for being highly skilled.

    He's a bust, but that's okay, most players taken in the teens don't pan out. I think the Pistons actually should have taken James Johnson, but they didn't, and I'm happy with that.
