Sounds accurate.
I'm thinking very much in line with that opinion.
If all goes smoothly on schedule, I'd expect him to miss a full season, come back leveraging a bit more of his length + shooting range and his 'gather' to try to make up the difference of that 'lost step'. He'd likely be a little less of a 'closer' and struggle to force/create baskets vs. double teams and tough 1-on-1 situations. He may even pack on a few pounds of muscle mass. The decline would be most evident on Defense.
