Adrian Wojnarowski is one of the more respected sports writers in the league. His opinions are sound and his articles are always spot on. So, when Wojo posted a series of tweets about the Celtics center Fab Melo, it is probably a good idea to pay attention to them.
It's obvious that Fab has a great deal of potential. It's also obvious that he needs more work to turn that potential into production at the NBA level on a regular basis. The fact that the Red Claws are running the Celtics' system is a huge bonus here because Fab is learning exactly what he will use with the parent club and not just putting in busy work in a different system.
I like that they are being patient with him. They were patient with Avery Bradley in the same way and look how that turned out. While Fab more than likely won't put up this type of numbers every night, it's obvious that the talent is there and that's a very good thing for the Celtics in the long run. Possibly even this season. But, as Wojo says, long term, look out.
