I don't want to beat down Sven here but the fact is that Hartley wasn't even playing him until the end of the season when the team became the Heat. I don't see that changing much next season as long as the games count he's going to roll with veteran player he has confidence in. I see this season as a bit disappointing quite frankly as the kid simply didn't look good until garbage time and even then he wasn't noticeable for stretches. He's likely going to be a Backlund type project that will need a lot of tough love.

Again - I disagree.
I think Sven's transition will be far smoother and he'll make a big impact a lot quicker.
We'll find out. But he's got everything it takes to be a high end player - most importantly unreal instincts.
I rarely take such a strong stand on a prospect - but I'm that high on him.
