This is my biggest hope...he clearly looked slow. I do think a lack of experience to the game at this level is a major contributor to his slowness.

You hear all the time about the speed of the game and every player takes time to adjust. Missing all of the time these first two off-seasons have to have had an affect. Just look at Ruiz. His first two off-seasons were totally non-existent and it took him time to become a really solid starter. Hopefully things start slowing down more and more with each game and practice.
