I think his offense will definately pick up. He's got a lot of moves. He just needs to put it all together. I've seen too many impressive things offensively to think his offense won't be at least very solid. As he gets older his jumper will be more consistant (the form is good as is), and he'll learn how to finish around the rim a bit better. Just remember that the guy he's always compared to (Manu) had a very streaky jumper when he came into the league at 25. Now he's a very good jumpshooter.

The important thing to have at his age is the physical ability to do some of those offensive things and the desire to play on the defensive end. Needless to say I'm more excited about Delfino than I have been about a young Piston in a long time. It's great to have a slasher again who likes to go strong to the rim.
