I get giddy when thinking how good he can/will be.
Same here. Especially after arguing with Leaf nation during the playoffs.
They assumed that he was a bust (at 19 mind you) since we weren't giving him 25 minutes per night in the playoffs. What impresses me is his all-around improvement. His positioning defensively is significantly better, his physicality (hits & blocked shots especially) is significantly better, and his offensive prowess has been as advertised.
He's also bulked up a bit, and looks like a veteran out there (instead of a baby giraffe). He will be even bulkier in the coming years as well. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it looks like Chia may have finally picked a franchise-caliber 1st rounder!
