Zikarsky underrated?

Zikarsky is looking more mobile lately, played some nice D on Embiid, even hit a contested 3 today, and has generally looked much better than he did in the NBL so far in the NBA preseason.

At 19 years old, and clearly improving, I wonder whether his ceiling needs to be reassessed. I was thinking he'd end with either Bogut his absolute ceiling and Luke Schensher his floor. But do others have any other idea on what his long term prospects are looking like?

I'm happy to admit I'm one who got it wrong. Didn't rate him at all, couldn't see him making it at NBA level. Based on the short time he's been with the Wolves though he looks as though he's a lot better than I gave him credit for. Could carve out a solid NBA career.

I was surprised a lot of people didnt think Rocco would get drafted because he was crap in the NBL. I was adamant he would. NBA teams are obsessed with height & length and will back themselves, often incorrectly, to turn the guy into a player. We saw it with Thon and I suspect in 2 years time we will see Rocco back here on the bench in the NBL.
