Given his pedigree and how quickly he progressed in a short amount of time in the g-league, I would be very surprised if it took that long. I'm thinking he'll see very limited time this year, but really contribute in year 2. If by year 3 he hasn't become a real quality NBA guard, then it probably won't happen.

I think he'll see more time this year than that, and could be contributing in second half.

Having watched as much of I can of him on youtube and seeing him play a full game yesterday, I think you're right. There's a reason he was originally projected to be a lottery pick. The talent is through the roof.
