I think what they've been doing is sending him there to get in game experience, then calling him up to assess his progress and offer additional instruction. At that point they send him down again for more playing time. They look to be trying to develop the guy. He's not ready for the NBA yet so it could be detrimental to his confidence to force it on him. He's a second rounder. He's a project. Projects take time, they're projects.

I will tell you what I see when I watch him (watched him play last night). He is a guy you use in a half court set which toronto doesn't play cause it slows the game down. He sets excellent picks and screens, I consistently see people get open when he sets a pick. His entry pass denial has gotten much better. He is playing the pick and roll better on the defensive side of the ball and I see aggression from him in short spaces. I honestly think he can make a good defensive team better and get his points on put backs. I don't think he will ever dominate any side of the ball single handedly which Toronto needs him to do because everyone else sucks defensively. I have seen hints of another level but it's not nearly enough. Last thing that I have seen which I like is he put on some weight

Keep in mind most draft sites had him projected to go in the top 25 and he only fell because of the hep B thing. If BC is willing to give him the time to develop and he pushes it hard in the gym, I think he'll surprise a lot of people in the next couple season. Here's hoping anyway!

He actually has a decent stroke on his jumper and can knock down open shots from the elbow. The biggest thing with Alabi is his awareness. He looks lost alot out there and if he can just learn when and where to move, he'll look like a much better player."Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival."

I don't hold much faith in Alabi - as much as I'd like to be wrong. Ujiri should have took him with him to DEN as he was his project. Again, I hope I'm wrong but that is my opinion right now.
