I thought he was awesome in the summer league game against Dallas. In college, I viewed him as a little bit perimeter version of PJ. I think there are similarities. Although, watching him play you see he is around 3 inches bigger than PJ and is much more comfortable on the perimeter. There was some questions about maturity with him. Although, it looks like some of that confidence seems to be working for him. He looks like a fun rookie. I think him and Draymond are going to piss off a lot of teams. Will do it different ways though.
I think Yaxel will wind up being the better player. He's bigger, more athletic, and probably shoots just as well from deep. PJ needs to bounce back from a disappointing season last year.
