He's athletic in the same way Dirk is athletic, incredible coordination for a guy his size. Is he a leaper? Not really, but for a guy his size he can do windmill dunks and handle the ball on a fastbreak. His coordination and footspeed are incredible for someone with his length. That's what Toronto fans will be impressed by, his open court ability and his ability to drive to the hole and finish for a guy his size. Fans will NOT be disappointed, in fact, many will be pleasantly surprised.
I'm one of Charlie's biggest fans(A UConn whore) and even I will say he's never going to be a dominant player. Is that what fans are saying or expecting? No, they just want him to be a good, versatile player, which is what he will be.
