Default RE:question on MBenga's contract?

Way too early, but it is fun to talk about.
I would be very surprised if he came in and put up
21ppg, 12rpg, 2.68bpg, 1.4apg, 1.2spg in 35.5mpg his rookie year (Olajuwon)
or
17ppg, 12rpg, 2.96bpg, 2.2apg in 38mpg (Mutombo)

I'd say that that is not only premature, but it is immature.

5.7ppg, 4.3rpg, 1apg, 1bpg in 17.7mpg in three games of pre-season play. Even per minute, he's falling far short.

He's shooting 58%, but again, its preseason and he's only taken 14 shots.
