Minus the Injury, AJ is right where I think Dumars and Flip expected this year. He is getting regular mins, I don't think Dumars said he would be in the regular rotation. He is super young with loads of potential and needs playing time to get better.

However were not an expansion team and were trying to win games now, and we have 3 very young players getting into the rotation right now.... Its not going as fast as some of you seem to think it should, and you can throw stats out to prove your points.... my stats teacher in college once said you can make stats say whatever you want them too.... you hate a player you make him look bad, you like a player and you can make him look all world (lee with arryo's assist to turnover margin for example) AJ's future is looking great but lets not give him the MVP award just yet.

Enjoy his great moments, and understand that he's going to have lots of bumps along the road.... He's playing, he's learning, and might even be ready to help in the playoffs this year, but thats not a given yet.
