I'm curious as I don't know much about Apple, but has he been counted on to start and lead at the last places he has been? I would expect at least his original team expected such things as a 1st round pick. You never know having a lot of talent, but not having the pressure to be the top guy and having other strong leaders in the locker room at the same position could be a boon for him.
