He's extremely raw and coming off the flu and some minor injuries, not too surprising he's starting slow.

Those jumpers he was hitting last night were butter. So smooth and nothing but net

Yeah, he's really good at making jumpshots and scoring inside. He has a ton of defensive upside (and scoring upside if he improves his handle), but it's going to take time. He's a young 19.
I still worry about his ability to produce efficient offense. Playing more off the ball is better than what he did in college, but he still needs to be a very elite shooter on this shot diet to be efficient. Ace doesn't get very many easy ones. Looked great in preseason when he was shooting at an amazing clip, but that wasn't sustainable. Zero rim attempts so far and only to FTA. I think the rest of his game will come around when he's not sick, but shot diet will continue to be the biggest question for him going forward.
