If he puts the work in and has no fundamental or confidence issues, that path forward is the most realistic. Not super ideal in terms of defensibility, but otoh team’s having to play up more will give him an extra half-step.
And he's already improved so much as a shooter. Keep in mind he was considered a liability from beyond the three coming into the draft.
