He'll get a ridiculously long leash for no other reason than who drafted him.

I don't like the pick, and will be surprised if he ever lives up to his (immense) potential.
The real problem is that the "first year or two" excuse will be legitimate.
I'm with nj, though, and have said before, that I believe Powe will be the starter to start the season, and actually have high hope for him.
It will be difficult for Poe, even if he does show some of that promise, to root Powe out of the starting lineup, if he plays as well as I believe he can.
